Frequently asked questions
How does the Shirley IFR kit work?
Open Shirley in your browser, connect your sim, and talk to them like a copilot. Shirley guides you through a hand-tailored, tested curriculum designed by instrument pilots and instructors.
Can I try Shirley before I buy the kit?
Of course! We offer a free 7-day trial of Shirley, and it includes a free sample scenario from the IFR kit. If you buy the kit later, we add a free month to your plan.
Start your free trial nowDo I need a Shirley subscription?
Yes, a Shirley plan powers the coaching. The kit includes 30 days free instead of the usual 7, or a month added if you already subscribe. After that it’s $19.99/month. Cancel anytime, even on day one; the kit stays yours.
Do I need my instrument rating?
No. It’s built for pilots of all levels: those working toward the rating, instrument pilots staying sharp, and anyone curious about flying IFR. Fly it alongside your ground school or Sporty’s instrument course, not instead of it.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Shirley runs in Chrome or Edge on any operating system and connects to X-Plane 12 in one click. The IFR scenarios are built for X-Plane 12.
