Flight Training
Zero to Hero Program
The Zero to Hero flight training program is designed to transform aspiring pilots with no flight experience into confident, skilled aviators ready for successful careers as airline pilots.
Our comprehensive curriculum guides you through obtaining your Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, Certified Flight Instructor Certificate, and Multi-Engine Certificates, all within approximately nine months. Training begins with online academics, followed by an FAA written test, guided study, and daily flights. As you progress through each rating, you'll focus more on self-study and flying, culminating in an FAA checkride for each certification.
Upon completion of the program, you'll need to accumulate 1,500 flight hours to qualify as an airline transport pilot. Besides 1,500 hours of total flight time, there are other FAA prerequisites to get an ATP:
- 100 hours of night flight time
- 500 hours of cross-country flight time
- 75 hours of instrument flight time
- Have completed the ATP-CTP
- Have completed the ATM (FAA written test)
One of the most cost and time effective ways to achieve the ATP requirements is by becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). We often hire the top 10% of our graduates as M2A CFIs! If selected to instruct with us, when you reach 1500 hours of flight time, we’ll cover the cost of your ATP-CTP, ATM, and assist you with preparing for your ATP checkride.
Join us and take the first step toward realizing your dream of becoming an airline pilot!
Private Pilot Certificate
Earning a pilot's license opens the door to an exciting new mode of travel, leads to new employment opportunities, or simply solidifies that new hobby. Having a Private Pilot Certificate will allow you to fly friends and family, and shortens travel time significantly when compared to traveling by car. You don’t need any prior experience to start learning to fly an airplane. Flight training for Private Pilot is conducted in Piper Cherokees, a low wing single engine aircraft.
Includes:
• Up to 40 hours dual
• 10 hours solo
• 15 hours ground school
• Check ride fees
Note: Total training costs will depend on student performance and availability.
Instrument Rating
How many times have you had to cancel a flight because the weather wasn’t quite VFR? Adding and Instrument rating to you current pilot certificate opens a lot of doors when it comes to travel planning. Having an instrument rating can also help with insurance rates as well! Tie your go/no-go decision a little less to the cloud conditions and learn to fly instruments in a PA-28-180.
Includes:
• Up to 17 hours of flight training
• 20 hours ground school
Note: Cost of the course doesn’t include time building to meet Part 61 requirements. Total training costs will depend on student performance and availability.
Commercial Pilot Certificate
This is your first step to becoming a professional pilot! To get paid to fly, you must hold at least a Commercial Pilot certificate. Flight training is conducted in Piper Cherokees. To obtain a commercial license, a pilot must have 250 hours of flight time. The applicant must also complete 10 hours of flight training in a complex or TAA aircraft and have received sufficient ground school to pass the written test.
Includes:
• Up to 30 hours of dual flight training
• 10 hours of solo flight training
• 10 hours ground school
Note: Cost of the course doesn’t include time building to meet the 61 requirements.
Course uses both PA-28-140 and PA-28-180 aircraft.
Total cost depends on previously logged pilot time of the applicant, applicant performance, and applicant availability to train.
Certified Flight Instructor Training
Even though you can get paid with a commercial pilot rating, the most common path to a professional flying career begins as a certified flight instructor. Earn your instructor rating and learn from our cadre of highly experienced instructors, each with decades of real-world experience. Our CFI course is designed to be an accelerated course that, once complete, will give you the tools required to pass your check ride, but more importantly to instruct on the line.
Includes:
• Up to 5 hours of flight training
• 10 hours ground school
Already have a CFI? Looking to add a new class? We offer accelerated training to add MEI and/or Instrument Instructor rating to your current instructor certification.

Multi-Engine Add-on Training
Add a multi-engine rating to your private or commercial single-engine certificate with our multi-engine add-on course. Flight training is accomplished using our fleet of Piper Seneca II aircraft equipped with Garmin GPS and electronic flight displays. Training for a multi-engine rating will normally take around 7 hours of flight and about 3 hours of ground school if you are a current and proficient single-engine pilot. This means training can be accomplished in just a few days. Want more training for insurance requirements, confidence, or peace of mind after the check ride? We also offer post-course additional light twin flying academics and instructional flight block rates upon request.
