ABOUT
We wrote down what flight schools don't.
Every real number, every honest timeline, every question a CFI won't answer straight, all in one place, for Colorado.
MISSION
Straight answers, built for Colorado students.
Aerolink publishes the costs, timelines, and trade-offs that flight schools advertise around. It isn't a directory or a blog. It's a reference built by someone who needed it and couldn't find it.
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
Alex Czyzowicz, Founder, Aerolink. Student pilot, CU Boulder.
I started training out of the Front Range while I was still at CU Boulder. Every question I had, what it actually costs, whether Part 61 or 141 made sense for me, which schools were worth calling first, got a different answer depending on who I asked. Instructors had a stake in the answer. Forums were five years out of date. Nobody had just written it down.
Aerolink is the site I wanted before my first lesson. It doesn't sell flight training and it isn't owned by a school, so it doesn't need to soften anything. I'm still a student pilot building this alongside my own training. Every page exists because I needed it to exist first.
WHY AEROLINK EXISTS
Four things we're trying to get right.
- 01 — Real numbers.
Publish what Colorado students actually spend against what schools advertise, and show the gap.
- 02 — Plain language.
Explain the process the way a friend would, not a textbook. No acronyms without a definition attached.
- 03 — Local, not generic.
Build a school directory grounded in Colorado data, from high-altitude airports to Front Range density to real mountain flying considerations, not a national template with a state filter.
- 04 — Honesty about the gaps.
When we don't know something yet, we say so instead of filling the space with vague reassurance.
Something else is coming. We're not ready to talk about it yet.
