Quest Aeronautics Has Successfully Launched the Pilot-Owner Academy
How the Pilot-Owner Academy Can Help You Own and Operate Your Continental or Lycoming Powered Aircraft with Competence and Confidence.
Owning and operating a Continental or Lycoming powered aircraft can be a challenging and costly experience. New or aspiring pilot-owners often struggle to gather the information needed to make informed decisions. It’s hard to know whether advice from brokers, maintenance shops, or mechanics is honest and unbiased. Brokers often prioritize selling their inventory, and maintenance shops may recommend unnecessary part replacements or overhauls. Even fundamental tasks like proper engine leaning remain a mystery to many owners.
That’s why Quest Aeronautics developed and launched the Pilot-Owner Academy. Our mission is to guide you through the complexities of aircraft ownership and operation, providing clarity, confidence, and competence at every step.
Introducing the Newly Launched Pilot-Owner Academy
The Pilot-Owner Academy is designed to simplify your journey to aircraft ownership and operation. It combines expert guidance with hands-on support, helping you avoid costly mistakes and streamline your aviation experience.

Join Our Waitlist
Before launching the Pilot-Owner Academy, we opened a waitlist to align with our customers’ timeframes and preferences. This approach allows us to offer personalized service and ensure every client receives the attention they deserve.
When your turn arrives, we’ll invite you to a complimentary 60-minute discovery session. During this session, we’ll discuss your aviation goals, challenges, and how the academy can help. Based on this session, we’ll either offer you a spot in the Pilot-Owner Academy or refer you to other professionals who can better meet your needs.
Free Live Webinars and Lectures
In addition to the waitlist, we’re hosting free live webinars and lectures, including events at AERO Friedrichshafen. These sessions provide an overview of aircraft ownership and operation, offering a glimpse into the academy’s benefits. Participants can also book their complimentary 60-minute discovery session during these events.
Secure Your Spot Today
Due to the personalised nature of our programme, we limit enrolment to 12 clients at a time, with only 3 new clients accepted per quarter. Once the cap is reached, no additional spots will be available, so we encourage early applications. We’re fully booked for the first quarter of 2025 but encourage you to join the waitlist for upcoming opportunities. Don’t miss your chance to become a confident, competent pilot-owner with the Pilot-Owner Academy.
