Client
Todd Freeman is a senior executive in the commercial aircraft industry with 35 years of global experience across all major aircraft segments.
He has been a general aviation (GA) pilot since the 1970s and is currently a GA aircraft owner and FAA Certified Flight Instructor, allowing him to have vast experience and knowledge of the challenges and needs that GA pilots face.
Problem
As a GA pilot and instructor, Todd recognized the challenges faced by pilots, especially student pilots, in the industry. They are passionate about flying, but there is a clear issue with retention in flight training. Pilots struggle to stay connected and engaged with their flying communities, as there is no centralized platform for them to come together and connect.
Solution
Wilco, the app for the General Aviation community. We make it easy for GA pilots to stay connected, explore, and share their passion for flying. With Wilco, you can learn from others, expand your GA network, and maintain proficiency. Fly safely and fly with purpose.
