Pilot Pipeline

Pilot Pipeline is a marketing company for flight schools. It is based in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. It was built and is run by a certified flight instructor, Ryan Johnson, and a marketing veteran, Jonathan Bowman. The company works with flight schools across the United States.

The company offers Google and Meta ad campaigns aimed at people nearby who want to learn to fly. It also works on local search, so a school appears for searches such as flight school near me. The site says it also works to make schools appear in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Grok.

The process has three steps. First, a discovery call maps the school's market, aircraft, instructor capacity and goals. Next, the company builds ads and search visibility. Then it optimizes every month. The site says success is measured in booked discovery flights.

The site lists a case study for Flying High Again, a flight school in Smyrna, Tennessee. It says the school doubled revenue and saw four times more inbound inquiries. The site reports a 6 to 1 return on ad spend and a cost per conversion of about $40. The campaign was led by co-founder Jonathan Bowman through his agency, JBowman Creative.

The company works with schools nationwide. Its site has state pages for Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Washington. The site says contracts are month to month and can be cancelled at any time. It also offers a guide for flight school owners.

The main phone number is 615-915-9229. The site says the team usually replies within one business day to a contact form submission. The company is at 700 Church Street, Nashville, Tennessee. It has Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn pages.
