☕ Help Keep RotaryXC Free
RotaryXC is built and maintained by a working CFII pilot, in their spare time, for free. If it's helped your studying — even one chapter, one flashcard, one bit of advice you couldn't find anywhere else — and you'd like to send a "thanks," here's how.
All contributions go directly toward hosting, future content, and the occasional study coffee.
Why ask for support
- RotaryXC stays completely free — no paywalls, no required accounts, no ads cluttering the study pages.
- Content is updated as regulations change and new helicopter-specific guidance comes out.
- The platform is privacy-first — your notes, quiz progress, and flashcards live on your device, not a server.
- Everything that comes in offsets hosting, fees, and the time it takes to expand the question banks, build new course modules, and produce video.
Other ways to help
Money's not the only contribution. Any of these helps the project:
Share with a Pilot
The simplest help. If a friend, hangar buddy, or student pilot is studying for any of the certificates we cover, send them a link.
