Originally founded in 2014 under the name of PILOTNICK Publishing, Ltd., a Denver, Colorado Company. We wrote and published a single product known as The Complete CFI Binder Series. A Teachers Manual for Flight Instructor Certification. In early 2019, PILOTNICK Publishing was rebranded as Divergent Aerospace, a Pennsylvania Company located in the Laurel Highlands, Southeast of Pittsburgh. This rebrand was necessary as we as a company collectively began to grow in other areas of Aviation Education and Training. 

For more details on our name change and rebrand. Please read our full Press Release.

We exist to develop specialized training content for aviation students who crave clear and concisely structured training material, who have the desire to be taught the fundamental concepts of flight using creative, innovative, training techniques. We develop Online Courses, Textbooks, and other training materials for Pilot Certification. We create products that teach our clients' what they need to know, and want to know, without over complicating what is being taught.

We are a small company run by a group of professional pilots and normal people (non-pilots) who are passionate about training the future generation of pilots that will inevitably replace us. Our content has been developed by individuals who’ve “been there, done that.” As our leadership has worked in many facets of the civilian and military aerospace industry: In both flying and non-flying capacities. We have diverged from our careers as professional airline pilots to professionally teach the future generation of pilots.

We take a radically different approach to aerospace education. As out-of-the-box thinkers, we exist to create a divergence or shift in the Aviation Education Certification and Training Industry. Creative Thinking and Innovation are the two fundamentals of our company.

The word “Divergent” is defined as “moving or extending in different directions from a common point” and “differing from each other or from a standard.” At Divergent Aerospace, our mission is to Inspire Greatness by diverging from the normal, more traditional methods of aviation training, by educating our clients using a truly unique, creative and innovative approach.
