• Private Pilot
• Instrument Rating
• Commercial Pilot
• Multi-Engine Add-On
• Certified Flight Instructor
• Instrument Instructor 
• Multi-Engine Instructor

Yes. Not only does our pilot training put safety at the forefront, but so do our practices both in the air and on the ground— at every moment. Before our students test for their pilot’s rating, we make sure they are experts in safety, readily equipped with the knowledge and experience necessary to handle any situation. When you’re not in one of our aircraft, you can be assured that all of its maintenance needs are being met.

Our planes are inspected every 50 and 100 hours by our in-house seasoned mechanics. Each plane is seen by our maintenance staff twice a month and sometimes more. There is no expense spared in the maintenance and safety of our planes. It makes all the difference.

The length of time it takes to complete flight training varies on individual students availability and frequency of training, as well as the type of training they are undergoing.
Typical estimated timelines for FLT Academy students are:

• • Full Career-Track Program: 15 months
  • Basic Career-Track Program: 12 months
  • Private Pilot Only: 3 months
  • Instrument Rating Only: 3 months
  • Commercial Pilot Only: 3 months
  • Certified Flight Instructor: 3-4 months
  • Certified Flight Instructor Instrument: 2-4 weeks
  • Multi-Engine Add-On: 2-4 weeks
  • Multi-Engine Instructor: 2-4 weeks

As mentioned above, these timelines can be increased or decreased based on a students availability for training, at-home study habits, lesson comprehension, overall flight experience and proficiency, and more.

Yes, FLT Academy specializes in accelerated flight training.  Regardless of program enrollment, we have minimum flight training standards.

• • Accelerated Program Minimum Flight Training Standard: Five lessons per week
  • Less-Accelerated Program Minimum Flight Training Standard: Three lessons per week

Again, this depends on the program, but certificated pilots must spend a good amount of time in the sky, as well as on the ground with a pencil in hand. In-air experience is critical and teaches valuable lessons that can’t be accomplished in a simulator alone. Our students will spend many hours in one of our 50 aircraft with a professional instructor during their flight training.
