The debrief your students will actually read.

Ascent is the EFB a student pilot flies with from the first lesson: charts, weather and a logbook, plus a GPS debrief after every flight that checks the approach against stabilized gates and the landing against the ACS. Arriving in Ascent 1.9.6. Every new account starts with a one-time 30-day Pro trial.

Preflight

Brief on the ramp with the same app you fly with and debrief with.

For the student

A debrief after every lesson

Record the flight, replay it in 3D and get stabilized approach gates, glidepath against a 3 degree reference and touchdown point against the Private Pilot ACS tolerances.

Coaching that switches itself on

Tips citing the Airplane Flying Handbook, the ACS and FAA advisory circulars turn on automatically when the logbook shows a student certificate or a 61.87 endorsement.

A logbook that keeps up

Dual received, instructor name and comments, endorsements, certificates and medical, usable offline. Import from ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot or MyFlightbook.

Practice at home

Fly Infinite Flight with Ascent as the EFB, then replay and debrief the sim session. A logged sim session counts as Simulator time, never Total.

For the instructor

Debrief the flight that happened.

A debrief per lesson

Students share the debrief as a PDF: scores, flags, gates and the track, ready for the post-flight brief.

Talk about the same picture

Scrub to the flagged moment in the 3D replay instead of reconstructing the pattern from memory.

Honest numbers

Every value is derived from GPS and marked as an estimate. It supports your judgment; the app says it is not a substitute for a CFI.

For the school

Ascent is priced per pilot today: $59.99 the first year, then $89.99 a year, with a one-time 30-day Pro trial on every new account. We do not offer school accounts, fleet management or an instructor dashboard yet.

If you run a Part 61 or Part 141 program and want to put Ascent in front of your students, write to us. We will tell you plainly what we can do for your school today.
