What COCKPIT does
COCKPIT writes lesson reports for flying instructors. You have the debrief after the flight — out loud, the way you always do. COCKPIT turns it into a proper written report that you check and approve, so every student leaves with a clear record of how the lesson went and what to work on next.
It is not an autopilot for your paperwork. The flying judgement is yours: COCKPIT does the typing up, the structuring and the filing.
How a report gets written
1. Debrief after the flight
Record a voice note on the ramp or type a few lines. Just what you'd tell the student out loud — what went well, what didn't, what's next.
2. COCKPIT writes the draft
Your recording is typed up, then your notes are arranged into the eight report sections. It only uses what you actually said — it never invents flying.
3. You check it, then approve it
Read every section, change anything you want, and approve. Nothing reaches the student until you do, and the record shows who wrote and approved it.
What's in every report
The same eight sections, every lesson, so students and schools can compare one report with the next.
- Lesson objectives
- Exercises covered
- Instructor observations
- Student strengths
- Areas requiring further practice
- Student progress
- Suggested objectives for next lesson
- Additional comments
Your own words and notes are kept with the report, so you can always see what the draft was written from.

Who it isn't for
- If you don't write lesson reports at all, COCKPIT has nothing to speed up.
- If you want a report written without you, this isn't it — the draft comes from your debrief and you approve it.
- If you need a tool that files to a specific regulatory system for you, check that separately before you rely on it.
