I'm a commercial pilot building income streams to fund the next block of flight hours. KDP aviation workbooks are the cleanest proof line, FeedFare is live, and the AI automation material now stays in the background until it proves demand.

The workbook catalog is not a vanity shelf. It is the current proof that useful aviation study products can sell to pilots and turn into flight-hour money.
The whole point is to close the gap between where I am now and a Part 135 cockpit. This page tracks the hours, the pace, and whether the timeline is actually improving or just getting romanticized.
Not all revenue is equal. I care about whether an income stream is durable, repeatable, and boring enough to count on. That is why KDP matters more right now than hype around one lucky trade or a flashy launch week.
If a system is unstable, it does not stay live just because it sounds cool on the internet. That is why the Kalshi bot is paused while the weather strategy gets rebuilt around calibration instead of ego.
These pages explain the flying path, the weather bot post-mortem, and the aviation products funding the experiment.
I need 118.8 more flight hours to reach the 500-hour Part 135 target. At about $200 per hour, that's roughly a $23,760 gap. Instead of waiting until I can afford more flying, I'm trying to build assets that help fund the next block of hours.
I'm testing three real funding lanes: iOS apps, aviation study products, and small digital products. Kalshi stays paused until the redesign earns its way back.
The original weather bot compared NOAA and Open-Meteo forecasts to Kalshi prices, but the live version was overconfident and structurally flawed. It is now paused while I rebuild it around calibration, cleaner scoring, and better abstention.
I update this page with real numbers from the experiment: flight hours, revenue, and major milestones. No fake wins, no inflated screenshots.
Condensed proof log: only the numbers that changed the flight-hours or revenue thesis. Longer receipts stay off the page.
Chill lofi beats for your next ground school session. Pair it with the PPL Workbook, the Commercial Pilot Workbook, or the Multi-Engine Workbook and get to work.
This experiment exists to buy more flight time. These are the pages that explain how I'm training, studying, and trying not to light money on fire.
