Make Shirley Your Own
We believe the best flight training tools are shaped by the pilots who use them. That's why Shirley is built as an open canvas that empowers our community to customize lessons, aircraft profiles, and training scenarios.
Custom Aircraft Profiles
Train with the aircraft you love to fly. In minutes, you can create custom profiles that match the specific variants and configurations you enjoy most!
Check out our open source simulator interface. Our ForeFlight bridge connects Shirley with simulators like MSFS, AeroFly FS, Infinite Flight, and more!
Passed my private a few months ago and can confidently say FlyShirley has easily saved me dozens of hours in additional flight training (and thousands of dollars!) and made me a more knowledgeable pilot along the way.
It's not perfect and I encounter bugs now and then. BUT - the owners are super responsive on Discord, answering questions and fixing bugs. I wouldn't say this is a good way to learn your fundamentals - stick with a real flight instructor for that - but if you already have some time and landings under your belt and want to practice sharpening basic skills and procedures I honestly think it's the best money you can spend.
OMG. Shirley has gotten so much better. It's feeling polished. Thank so much Alex, for all the hard work, and dedication, you've put into the product over the years.

Great experience with Shirley AI and the developers
I use it in short and long flights, it is great to have someone to talk with about what is happening in your flight, ask it about the aircrafts and instruments, even questions about the places you are flying around.
I've seen it continuously mature into a product that, as of today, I won't fly without it. Shirley is my copilot, my second set of eyes, and my extra set of hands in the cockpit. … Shirley reminds me when I forget to do things, like retract flaps on take-off.
Hey FlyShirley team. I'm loving the app! Using it to brush up on old skills. … Lots of fun and very useful on the ACS standards.

The challenges are the key to give a purpose to Shirley and make it super useful. Building live courses or other type of interactive content where you can ask the teacher, is unbelievable good, we never had this before in software history.

Harness AI to hone your pilot skills
Pretty amazing stuff. It will evaluate your performance against ACS standards, position the aircraft, teach maneuvers and even allow you to create your own scenarios (and a lot more)
