Drone and Airplane Affiliate Program

Do you create content for the drone or aviation community? Partner with Pilot Institute and earn money helping people achieve their dreams of flight.
Our affiliate program covers our full course catalog — including our industry-leading Part 107 Made Easy drone course and our Private Pilot online ground school — and pays a 20% commission on all sales you generate, with no upper limit.
Who we’re looking for
We partner with a select group of affiliates and review every application individually. Strong applicants typically have an established audience in the drone or aviation space — a YouTube channel, blog, podcast, newsletter, social media following, or a business that serves pilots. We also consider overall fit, content quality, and familiarity with our courses. If you don’t check every box but believe you’d be a great partner, we still encourage you to apply and tell us why.
Please be detailed in your application on how you will promote Pilot Institute.
A few things we don’t allow: running paid ads on Pilot Institute brand terms, spam, or self-referrals.
What to expect after applying
Applications are reviewed weekly. You’ll hear back from us within 7–10 business days whether or not you’re accepted. Due to volume, we’re not able to provide individual feedback on declined applications, but you’re welcome to reapply if your circumstances change.
