A little help, when you need it.

Your instructor must invite you. On the welcome screen, choose Student? Join with an invitation, use the invited email address and invitation code, and create your password. There is no open student registration. Students must be 13 or older. Ages 13–17 need parent or legal guardian approval before training access. Instructor accounts require age 18 or older. Invited student accounts are free.

If an invitation has expired or was already used, ask your instructor for a new one. Existing students use Sign in with email.

A student ages 13–17 supplies a separate parent or legal guardian email. That person receives a private code and can open Parent or guardian approval from the sign-in screen. They review the student and instructor named in the email, enter their name and code, and confirm that they are age 18 or older and the student’s parent or legal guardian before approving or declining. No guardian account or subscription is required.

The code expires after 48 hours and can be used once. A new request invalidates the earlier code. The student can correct a pending guardian address or request a new code from the waiting screen, then choose Check approval status after a decision. Training, scheduling and messages remain unavailable until approval; signing in or resetting a password does not provide approval.

Age is self-reported. The code confirms access to the guardian email, not independent proof of age, identity or family relationship. Do not share a guardian code with the student. If a request is unfamiliar, ignore it or contact support@nextflightapp.com.

Contact support for age corrections, turning 18, approval withdrawal or help with existing records. While access is paused, Your data & account remains available. See the privacy policy for what is retained and deleted.

The monthly plan includes the instructor workspace for student progress, individual and weekly scheduling, messages, briefings, readiness evidence, reports and offline reading. The U.S. base price is $9.99/month, with the local price shown by Apple before you confirm. The app download is free and invited students are included.

Use the same NextFlight instructor account on iPhone and iPad. There is one monthly plan; no trial, annual plan, Family Sharing or additional-seat entitlement is offered.

Open Today → Your account → Your instructor plan. Choose Restore purchases while signed in to the same NextFlight instructor account and the Apple Account used for the purchase. Choose Manage Apple subscription to manage renewal or cancel through Apple.

The subscription renews monthly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Turning off renewal keeps access through the remaining paid period. Deleting NextFlight or its account does not cancel Apple renewal. If Apple says approval is pending, do not purchase again.

A purchase is bound to its instructor account. Do not create a new account to try to claim another account’s purchase; contact support for help.

Changes need a connection and an active instructor plan. A plan that has expired, needs attention or cannot be verified may temporarily prevent changes. Existing records remain available to read and export. Students do not need to buy a plan of their own.

If your instructor still needs to confirm their account eligibility, changes remain paused until they do. If your instructor closes their account, shared training records remain under Former instructor. You can read and export them, but the closed workspace cannot be edited.

Use the password recovery control on the sign-in screen and enter the email used for the account. Check the inbox and spam folder for the reset message. Verification, invitation, password-reset and guardian approval codes serve different purposes and can expire; request the appropriate new code if needed.

For a student invitation, verify the address with the instructor. Support will never need your password or one-time code.

Instructors create or change individual lessons and can book weekly series. NextFlight checks for scheduling conflicts. Students view their own schedule and should ask the instructor about changes.

Optional reminders run locally. Open the app after changes on another device so this device downloads the updated schedule. Message updates arrive while the app is open; remote push messages and calendar synchronization are not included.

After a complete online sync, NextFlight can reopen a protected roster, schedule and progress snapshot for up to seven days. It is read only. Messages, briefings and invitations are not stored offline, and changes are not queued for later sending.

Reconnect to refresh records or make changes. A saved PDF training report is different from a complete account export.

Open Today → Your account → Your data & account. Use Prepare account export for your authorized records. If age confirmation or guardian approval is pending, choose Your data & account on that screen. Open a student’s Training report for a PDF of that student’s selected training path.

Delete account asks for your current password and the exact confirmation DELETE. Student deletion removes their records; instructor deletion leaves shared student records under Former instructor while removing the instructor’s account identity and private conversations. See the privacy policy for the full behavior. Manage Apple renewal separately before or after deleting the account.

No. NextFlight displays recorded evidence and gaps. Your instructor verifies the exact route, applicable current FAA sources, endorsements, original logbook records, eligibility and proficiency. A review mark is not an endorsement or flight authorization, and lesson durations are scheduling estimates.

The library spans all seven FAA aircraft categories, but it does not fully resolve every add-on, approved-course or type-specific route. NextFlight is not for in-flight use and does not provide live weather or NOTAMs.
