Free, Student, Pilot, Pro, Operator, and School plans for AeroCopilot US — what each tier includes, who it's built for, and how to choose.

The 5 AeroCopilot Tiers

AeroCopilot US is sold as flat-rate subscriptions. AI is included in every paid plan as a feature of the subscription itself — not as a separate balance you have to top up. This page lists every tier, the audience it was built for, and the headline differentiator.

All paid tiers include a 14-day free trial (except Pro). Annual billing is the primary cadence and matches the aviation industry norm.

Free — $0

For trial pilots and Part 107 operators who want to evaluate the platform before subscribing.

  • 5 AI chats per day (visible counter)
  • Basic weather and calculators
  • Safety features (VFR-IMC predictor, scud-running alert) always on
  • Free tier never auto-converts to paid

This is the only tier where you'll see a "chats remaining today" counter. It exists to make the upgrade decision honest.

Student — $9.99/mo or $99.99/yr

For student pilots working on PPL, IR, or CPL.

  • Full AI Copilot
  • Study platform with 1,432+ FAA-style questions across 12 certificates
  • 3 flight plans per month
  • 14-day free trial

Pilot — $14.99/mo or $149.99/yr

For active GA pilots — PPL, IR, and beyond.

  • Unlimited AI Copilot
  • Unlimited flight plans
  • Full safety center (FRAT, Risk Window, Threat Board)
  • Approach plates
  • 14-day free trial

This is the most common tier for owner-operators and serious recreational pilots.

Pro — $24.99/mo or $249.99/yr

For CPL/ATP/CFI power users who fly a lot and want priority routing.

  • Priority AI Copilot
  • SWIM (System Wide Information Management) feeds
  • Unlimited aircraft profiles
  • All Pilot features

Pro does not include the 14-day trial — it's intended for users who already know the product.

Operator — $39/seat/mo or $199/mo flat (yearly: $390/seat or $1,990 flat)

For Part 107 commercial LLCs running 3+ RPICs and multiple aircraft.

  • Multi-RPIC compliance rollup
  • Fleet maintenance tracking
  • Audit-ready CSV exports
  • Priority support

The LLC pays whichever is lower for them — per-seat dominates at 5 or fewer RPICs, flat dominates at 6 or more. Yearly is 16.7% off (two months free).

School — $19.99/seat/mo

For Part 141 and Part 61 flight schools.

  • AI Copilot included per seat (Pilot-tier capability)
  • Fleet management
  • CFI dashboard
  • Centralized billing — school pays per seat, students pay nothing
