540 questions written, none yet approved: the education system, honestly

On 27 September 2026 the training path was built from Kindergarten to University. It has study modules, a checkpoint question after each lesson, timed exams that the server grades, spaced reviews, and stage gates that a person must approve. You can browse the modules on the education page.

Here is the honest status, and the reason for the title. The question banks hold 540 questions across six bands, and none has been approved. Every one is waiting for review by a subject expert. A mission whose exam cannot be filled from approved questions answers with an error and does not start. So the system is built, tested and deliberately closed, until people with the right knowledge go through the review pack. Every review will be recorded in an audit log with the reviewer's name and the time.

The rules are simple. The server credits a minimum study time per lesson, from a minute at Kindergarten up to three minutes at Pilot and University. The pass mark is 80 percent for the first four bands and 85 percent for the last two, thresholds the founder confirmed on 27 September. Both are charted at the end of this post.

The certificate at the end of University is a training record. It is not a civil aviation licence and carries no wings or seal. Africa Flying is a pre-operations, simulation-only platform, and these modules teach and test with software, not with aircraft.

When the first questions are approved, they will be reported here with the real numbers, however small.
