Learning to fly shouldn’t require you to put the rest of your life on hold.
Most student pilots are balancing work, family, finances, and unpredictable schedules — and traditional ground school wasn’t designed with that reality in mind.
We believe students deserve a learning experience that adapts to them, without sacrificing structure, clarity, or standards. One that allows progress at a steady, confident pace, with clear guidance along the way.
That belief is why Level Flight exists.
Breaking Ground School Barriers
Today’s student pilots and flight schools need more than rigid schedules and one-size-fits-all classrooms. Learning works best when students feel supported, engaged, and able to progress with clarity and confidence.
Level Flight was built around that belief. Our focus is on thoughtful course design, clear instruction, and learning environments that respect how students actually learn. By addressing long-standing gaps in how ground school is delivered, we help aspiring Canadian pilots build stronger foundations from the very beginning.
That belief is shaped by experience.
Level Flight was founded by airline captain Tyler Haughey, whose career across flight training and airline operations has provided firsthand insight into where students most often struggle — and how early learning can either build confidence or create unnecessary friction.
Supported by a team of airline pilots, flight instructors, air traffic controllers, and aviation educators, Level Flight brings together decades of practical experience with a shared commitment to thoughtful, student-focused training. Together, we design online ground school experiences that emphasize clarity, engagement, and strong foundations from the very beginning of a pilot’s journey.
The Level Flight Belief
We believe most student pilots don’t struggle because they lack ability — they struggle because they are overwhelmed, poorly guided, and unsure of what actually matters. Early flight training should create clarity and confidence, not confusion or self-doubt.
Level Flight exists to remove unnecessary complexity from ground school, focus learning on what truly matters, and give students clear standards and support from the very beginning. This is what sets our approach apart.
Begin Your Flight Training Here
Level Flight provides an online ground school platform designed to support clear understanding, steady progress, and confident decision-making throughout pilot training. Our courses are built to fit real lives and real training timelines, allowing students to learn when and where it makes sense — without losing structure or guidance.
From Private and Commercial Pilot ground school to exam preparation and advanced training, Level Flight gives students access to thoughtfully designed content, adaptive study tools, and clear readiness standards.

How Level Flight Works
Level Flight is designed as a modern ground school environment that brings students, instructors, and industry professionals together in one focused learning space. Our approach combines flexible online delivery with structured guidance, allowing students to take ownership of their training without losing clarity or support.
Instead of relying on static presentations or dated course formats, our courses are built from the ground up to be engaging and interactive. Content is delivered through a mix of video, audio, live sessions, and visual learning tools that add context and meaning to complex topics. Every element is designed to support understanding — not just information delivery.
What Students Can Expect
Flexible Learning Paths
All course content lives online and is available on your schedule. Students can progress through material at a steady, self-directed pace while always knowing what comes next and what’s expected.
Thoughtfully Designed Instruction
Lessons are created by aviation educators and industry professionals using a range of teaching methods — including audio-based explanations, visual animations, and interactive sessions — to support different learning styles and deepen understanding.
Supportive Learning Community
Students are part of an active learning environment where support is available from instructors, educators, and fellow student pilots. Whether progressing independently or seeking clarification, help is always within reach.
Flexible Access That Adapts to Your Training
Flight training timelines can change — and your ground school should be able to change with them. Level Flight courses include access for a set period, with simple extension and renewal options available when additional time is needed, ensuring students never feel rushed or left behind.
Level Flight offers Private Pilot and Commercial Pilot ground school, along with a growing range of advanced and specialty aviation courses designed to support students throughout their training journey. From early foundational learning to more advanced knowledge areas, our courses prepare students for each next step with clarity, confidence, and strong learning foundations.
Level Flight Alumni Say
The number of Level Flight Ground School Pilots continues to grow. We are proud that our comprehensive and innovative Ground School curriculum inspires students to complete their first steps and continue to develop to achieve their aviation dreams. Here is what some of our students past and present say about their experience with Level Flight Ground School.
Adaptive Learning
Level Flight integrates adaptive learning into our Commercial Pilot Ground School and Private Pilot exam preparation because fixed study paths don’t reflect how students actually learn. Every student arrives with different strengths, gaps, and assumptions — and treating them all the same wastes time and creates blind spots.
Our adaptive learning system adjusts as you progress, directing your effort toward areas that truly need attention and easing off where understanding is already solid. This helps surface misunderstandings early, sharpen judgment, and ensure your study time is spent where it has the greatest impact.
In a training environment where knowledge, confidence, and efficiency matter, adaptive learning isn’t a bonus — it’s a smarter way to prepare.
Soaring to Success
Level Flight exists to make ground school clearer, more engaging, and more supportive for Canadian student pilots. Our courses are designed with intention — combining thoughtful instruction, modern delivery, and a learning environment that respects different learning styles and training timelines.
Students gain access to carefully developed course content, experienced aviation educators, and a supportive online community focused on progress and understanding. Whether you are beginning your Private Pilot training or working toward more advanced goals, Level Flight provides the structure, flexibility, and guidance needed to move forward with confidence.
How to Become a Pilot in Canada
Becoming a pilot in Canada is an exciting journey that combines classroom learning with hands-on flight experience. Whether your goal is to fly for fun or pursue a professional aviation career, the process begins with proper training and certification. In Canada, aspiring pilots typically start with a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) before moving on to a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) if they want to fly for a living. Level Flight is the best choice to begin your pilot training journey. Click below to learn more about the typical process for becoming a pilot in Canada.
- Obtain a medical certificate
- Earn a Private Pilot License
- Earn a Commercial Pilot License
- Complete Advanced Training
Every pilot in Canada is required to obtain a medical certificate for the license they wish to hold (CAT 3 or 1 for PPL, CAT 1 for CPL). Level Flight recommends completing this step before or early in your training.
This process involves two main parts: ground school and flight training. Ground school will teach you the required knowledge, while flight training will teach you the skills in the aircraft. Ground school can be done before or at the same time as flight training. Make the best use of your time by signing up for Level Flight's online ground school. Click here to learn more about PPL training. This step can be your final destination if your goal is to be a recreational pilot. To become a professional pilot continue to the next step.
After completing the PPL, students who want to pursue a career as a pilot can advance to CPL training. This process is the same as the PPL with ground school and flight training components, but new and advanced skills are added to the curriculum. Click here to learn more about CPL training.
The next step in the pilot training journey is to obtain advanced qualifications such as a multi-engine and instrument rating. This step is required for anyone wishing to fly professionally but optional for those only looking to fly recreationally. Click here to learn more about advanced licenses and ratings.
