ABOUT MY FLIGHT ACADEMY

Meet Celine Zabout

Founder & CEO

FAA-certificated flight and ground instructor, commercial pilot and aviation curriculum developer

My Flight Academy was built around one idea: put the student at the center of every step.

I wanted to create more than an online ground school. I wanted to build a structured learning system that helps students study with purpose, track their progress and stay connected to their instructors.

Ground training should not feel separate from flying. It should prepare students to understand the “why,” apply knowledge in the airplane and become safer, more confident pilots.

THE STORY

Why I created
My Flight Academy

During my own training, I often had to piece things together from books, videos, online programs and scattered explanations. Later, as an instructor, I saw the same problem from the other side. Information is everywhere, but students do not always have a clear structure to follow. I also noticed a clear pattern: many were drifting away from reading and leaning almost entirely on video-only content.

Videos are an amazing tool and can be very helpful. But when they are not supplemented by other materials, students often struggle to build the structured understanding needed for FAA evaluations, oral questioning and real-world decision-making.

My perspective also comes from real-world flying experience. After earning my commercial pilot certificate, I flew professionally across the country in a Cessna 182. That background shaped the practical VFR general aviation approach I now bring into my teaching and into the way the VFR Course is built.

That path led me to create My Flight Academy, first as a structured VFR course for students and now as a broader training system for instructors and flight schools.

WHAT GUIDES MY FLIGHT ACADEMY

Structure

A clear path that students can follow on their own or with an instructor, so they know what comes next and keep their training on track.

Understanding

Ground training should build knowledge students can explain, retain and apply, not just information they memorize for an exam.

Application

Knowledge is valuable only when students can recall it, connect it to real flight situations and use it when it matters.

Built to Connect Training

Online study, ground instruction and flight training should work together, not feel like separate parts of training. My Flight Academy gives learners clear direction while helping instructors and flight schools support continuity, track progress and guide training more effectively.

ONE PLATFORM, THREE LEVELS OF SUPPORT

Built for Every Part of Training

My Flight Academy supports students learning independently, instructors guiding individual progress and flight schools overseeing training across their programs.

For Students

Take charge of your training with a structured VFR course, guided lessons, quizzes, resources and a clear path you can follow on your own or with an instructor.

For Instructors

Stay connected with each student, follow their progress and use structured syllabus tools to guide training with more continuity.

For Flight Schools

Maintain a broader view of training across students and instructors, support consistency and keep better track of what is happening within the school.
