The Problem to Solve

In U.S. flight schools today:

​

  • Pilots log hours in paper or unsecured PDFs 📄
  • Schools spend hours auditing manually ⏳
  • No digital, tamper-proof way to issue or verify credentials ❌
  • High risk of fraud, inefficiency, and compliance gaps ⚠️
  • 🟢 FlyGateway, an FAA-authorized issuer, needs a secure, compliant way to digitize trust — without relying on third parties.

Regulators verify claims in seconds

Trust is cryptographically provable—not manually assumed

Backed by open standards. Built for sovereignty. Deployed in the real world.
