They were going to revolutionize flight training. ![]() The idea was simple Greg makes the classes, and Johann shares them. Not long after, Greg and Johann came up with the name Pilot Institute. He looked into ground schools to study for the exam but found them to be outdated.Īfter doing some research, Johann came to the same conclusion that Greg did years before.Īn online ground school that focused on actually learning the material rather than just passing the exam would revolutionize flight training. That day, as they ascended thousands of feet into the sky, the same aviation bug that caught Greg came for Johann.Īfter they landed, Johann looked into how much studying he would need to do to become a pilot. He was looking forward to spending some much-needed time with his family.Īfter learning that it was his grandpa’s lifelong dream to fly in a hot air balloon, the two took to the skies. Johann had recently sold his marketing company. He knew how to teach, but he didn’t know how to share the classes. Greg has a passion for teaching, and he wanted to help as many students as possible.īut Greg was a professor. When Greg rewatches the class today, he cringes.īut the students loved it. It took an entire year to complete the first class. He underestimated how much work it would be. He bought lights from Home Depot and used a fleece blanket as a background.īut he made a big mistake. Greg started creating the first class in 2015. He would create the ground school himself. Students were unprepared and wasting $200-300/hr in the air learning something they could’ve on the ground. It was like showing someone how to assemble a computer without explaining what each part does. It didn’t provide the foundational knowledge they needed to become pilots. The online ground school only taught them how to pass the exam. The students would learn at their own pace, without expensive in-person ground school. That flight school didn’t have ground school instructors. He then moved to Arizona to become a Part 141 flight school president. He earned his Master’s degree in Aviation Human Factors and also taught classes as a University professor. He spent 13 years at a University flight school and worked his way up to assistant VP of the aviation program. So Greg got a management position at the flight school where he trained. That left him with two choices: Return to France or get a job. With no flying jobs available, Greg faced deportation. He had just graduated as a flight instructor. The aviation industry ground to a halt, and Greg’s timing couldn’t be worse. Then 9/11 happened, and Greg’s plans took a turn. He was going to stay in the US no matter what. He didn’t even consider returning to France despite training in the US for years. Greg’s first flight in the United States (1999). When Greg was 12, he visited “Uncle Alan” in the US.Īfter that trip, he became sure of two things: He wanted to move to America, and he wanted to fly.Īnd with that, when Greg was 20, he left France and went to the US to become a pilot. Greg’s uncle was an airline pilot in America, and it didn’t take much for the aviation bug to spread. But his aspirations, even as a kid, were anything but small. ![]() Greg Reverdiau and Johann Beishline The American Dream We’ll promptly send you $175 in the mail and refund your class if you fail the test on your first try.Īnd if you’re not happy with the class within the first 30 days, we’ll give you your money back hassle and risk-free.
