Lumina Flight
Free beta
Ask FAA questions in plain English, review exact 14 CFR text, and follow official eCFR links before any explanation. Lumina Flight is free for a limited time during our early beta (to help cover server costs soon) for student pilots, independent CFIs, and small flight-school teams willing to tell us what works and what breaks.
"Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise, unless within the preceding 90 days that person has made at least three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise..."
Night passenger carrying requires three takeoffs and three full-stop landings at night within the preceding 90 days, in the same category and class of aircraft.
Students and CFIs should not have to bounce between forum answers, generic AI, and manual PDF search. Lumina is designed to retrieve the governing 14 CFR text first, then help you interpret it.
Describe a scenario, lesson question, or flight requirement the same way you would ask an instructor, chief pilot, or training lead.
Lumina retrieves the authoritative wording first and pairs it with a direct official-source link so you can verify quickly.
Use the explanation layer only after the source text is on screen, so interpretation never replaces the citation.
Lumina Flight separates helpful explanation from regulatory evidence to keep answers usable without hiding the source.
The early beta is meant for real student and instructor questions, not broad enterprise claims.
Use Lumina when you want the exact citation on screen instead of a confident answer with no source trail.
Describe the scenario in plain English, review the exact rule, and share the source link while you talk through it.
We are actively looking for student and small-school feedback that helps us decide what to build next.
Lumina is not trying to replace official sources or instructor judgment. It is a faster way to get to the governing text and keep the explanation attached to the citation.

|---|---|---|---|
| Exact source text first | |||

| Good for student and CFI phrasing | Sometimes | Slow | |
| Best use right now | Free beta for targeted early users | General brainstorming | Primary source verification |
Right now the goal is simple: get the product in front of students, independent CFIs, and small flight-school founders who are likely to try it and give honest feedback.
Note: The beta is completely free right now, but as a bootstrapped project we will need to introduce pricing in a few weeks to cover running server costs.
For student pilots and trainees
For independent CFIs
For founders and owners of small fleets
This intake is for students, independent CFIs, and founders or owners of small fleets who want early access, roadmap updates, or a say in what gets built next.
It takes about 2 minutes. For fleet owners, we are actively designing features like daily regulation impact reports and automated FAA form filling—sign up here to tell us what you need most.
Students, independent CFIs, and small-school founders move to the front of the line.
We prioritize repeated workflow pain over generic praise or vague feature wishlists.
If you want beta invites or roadmap updates, include an email and tell us what you care about.
About 2 minutes. Most fields are here so we can learn from your real workflow, not just count signups.
A few direct answers for students, CFIs, and small schools deciding whether to try the beta.
Today Lumina Flight focuses on citation-first FAA regulatory Q&A. It retrieves exact regulatory text, keeps the source visible, and separates the explanation from the citation.
The best fit right now is student pilots, independent CFIs, and founders or leaders at small flight schools who are willing to try the workflow and give honest feedback.
We are still learning which workflow expansions matter most. The wishlist section is how we decide what deserves earlier rollout and which users should be involved in the next beta loops.
Yes. Lumina is designed to make source verification faster, not replace it. Always confirm decisions against the official source material.
If you want a citation-first FAA regulation workflow and you are willing to give honest feedback, now is the right time to try Lumina Flight before pricing is introduced to cover server costs.
