About Tomato Planes: Private Pilot
Tomato Planes is private pilot ground school, rebuilt around one goal: understanding. Not rote memorization. Every lesson is interactive, every concept is taught in the order that makes it click, and the hard ideas come with hands-on visuals you can actually fly. WHAT'S INSIDE • A complete private pilot ground school curriculum in short, game-like lessons • Interactive visuals: bend the airflow over a wing, load a real CG envelope, ride the four-stroke cycle, fly the traffic pattern, watch a thunderstorm build • Quizzes woven into every lesson so you find out immediately whether it stuck • A skill tree that unlocks section by section, from aerodynamics through weather, performance, airspace, and navigation • Streaks, achievements, and progress tracking that make showing up easy WHO IT'S FOR • Student pilots who want their ground knowledge to actually make sense • Licensed pilots knocking the rust off • Anyone who has ever wondered how flying really works THE HONEST PART Tomato Planes is a study supplement. It will not replace your flight instructor or an official FAA course, and we do not pretend otherwise. What it will do is make your time with both dramatically more productive, because you will arrive already understanding the why. Built by a working flight instructor who got tired of watching students memorize answers they did not understand. FREE TO START The first lessons are free. Premium unlocks the full course. Ultimate adds cross-device sync and a lifetime option. SUBSCRIPTIONS Premium and Ultimate are auto-renewing subscriptions (weekly, monthly, or annual) with a one-time Lifetime option. Some plans include a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings.

What’s new
Version 1.2.5 · Updated October 9, 2026
New in Section 2 "Forces in Action": Six hands-on stages • Ground effect: drag the airplane down to the runway and feel it float before it settles. • P-factor: watch each prop blade take a bigger bite of air, step by step, in 3D. • Gyroscopic precession: push on a spinning prop and see it react a quarter turn later. • Torque: see how the engine's twist rolls the airplane. • Induced drag: watch the wingtip vortices grow as drag builds. • Turns: see how lift splits in a bank, then roll the wings level yourself. Three games are on the Play tab • Critical Angle: thread the rings, and if you stall, lower the nose to recover. • Canyon Turns: bank through the canyon. Steeper turns pull more G and raise your stall speed. • Lean Machine: work the mixture to clear the ridges. Too rich runs weak, too lean runs hot. Fixes • "Start a lesson" on the streak banner now opens your next lesson. • The flame in a lesson shows your correct-in-a-row count again. • Small wording fixes.
