JPG Aviation Services, LLC | Application Preview
JPG Aviation Services, LLC is seeking government grants to develop video training software and an app aimed at students preparing to become pilots. The primary focus is on helping users understand and apply the FAA Airmen Certification Standards to successfully pass their FAA checkrides.
The business plan involves launching the Checkride Prep Software and App to establish a customer base, followed by the addition of other online training resources covering various aviation topics, such as Weather, Aircraft Systems, Aerodynamics, and Aviation Technology.
The applicant emphasizes their background as a Navy Veteran, pilot, and Designated Pilot Examiner, highlighting their awareness of gaps in current pilot training. They argue that as automation in aviation increases, fundamental flying skills are becoming underappreciated. The applicant connects this insight to lessons learned from past aviation incidents, asserting the need for a strong foundational knowledge in flying.
Regarding competition, they note that King Schools is a primary competitor, alongside others like Jeppesen and Sporty's. However, their competitive edge lies in delivering training materials through applications and online platforms tailored for today's tech-savvy generation. They recognize that many new pilots engage with training differently than previous generations and believe their expertise will enable them to create relevant and effective educational content. The applicant seeks funding to support their vision of enhancing pilot training and mentoring future aviators.

Business Plan
While creating a customer base with the first sales of the Checkride Prep Software and Application, I will continue to add other relevant online training material and Apps, that will help pilots to continue to gain knowledge in other aviation related subject areas, i.e. Weather, Aircraft systems, Aerodynamics, Aviation Technology. Being in aviation as a Navy Veteran, a pilot, and now as a Designated Pilot Examiner, I am seeing some missing pieces in training that needs to be addressed. Because of automation in the aviation industry, I see the basic flying skills along with the basic fundamentals of flying are lacking. We learned a lot from the 737MAX crashes a few years ago, and I believe that the use of automation is a great tool, but having the knowledge and aptitude to use our basic flying skills is still paramount in commanding any aircraft. I hope you agree with my outlook on the future of aviation as we continue to train our future pilots, and will give me this great opportunity to help do my part as an aviator, and mentor to other in the industry.

Self Identified Competition
King Schools is the only one that may be training with the focus in the same area. Others to may be, Jeppesen, and Sporty's. What makes me different is I am using Applications and online software to disseminate this information, because the generation of pilots that are training, do not study using books, as I did. So, its being able to promote and sell the product in a way that is marketable to our younger generation. Certain information and the understanding of this information is not being taught completely. This is where my knowledge and expertise in the aviation industry will allow me to produce the proper material and market it correctly.
