01 · How it works

Two sides. One platform. The marketing nobody else will run.

Most independent CFIs are one or two social posts away from a full schedule. PropBrief turns the marketing wider funnel into a conversion pipeline, then folds the operational drag — scheduling, payments, endorsements, logbook sync — into the platform so the cockpit stays the job.

  1. 01funnel: paid + organic

    Acquire

    Paid acquisition funnels, SEO-optimized profile pages, and a calibrated discovery-flight pipeline engineered against real performance-marketing spend.

  2. 02match: stage-aware

    Match

    Discovery flights become first lessons. Students self-select, CFIs approve. Endorsement goals and stage-of-training carry forward.

  3. 03ops: Part 61 ready

    Operate

    Part 61 endorsement tracking, scheduling, payments, logbook sync that pushes logged dual and solo time straight toward the 1500-hour track.

02 · The pipeline

Logged hours that actually move the line.

Every dual and solo block a CFI logs on PropBrief syncs straight to their logbook. The 1500-hour airline track stops being a number to chase and starts being a number to watch — redrawn the moment the ink dries on the endorsement.

  • › Part 61 endorsement index — Pre-Solo, Sport-to-Private, CPL milestones.
  • › Dual given counts toward the airline track; solo observed counts separately.
  • › Continuity from discovery flight to Private checkride to Commercial, same CFI.

03 · Who it is for

One platform, two very different days.

ROW A · INSTRUCTOR
CFI / CFII / MEI

Run a six-figure business out of an FBO instead of a flight-school desk.

  • Steady student pipeline without managing your own ad spend.
  • Brand surface — a profile page that ranks for your area, not a bulletin board in an FBO hallway.
  • The 1500-hour line, redrawn in real time from the logbook.
  • Keep the pay you already negotiated — no flight-school markup eating the margin.

ROW B · STUDENT
Pre-solo → CPL

Instructor-led training at flight-school prices. The same CFI from Private to Commercial.

  • Independent CFIs quoted directly — no flight-school overhead folded in.
  • Discovery flight that's actually a first lesson in disguise.
  • Continuity matters: keep the same CFI through Private and into the Commercial track.
  • Schedule and pay through one app; logbook syncs on the wing.
