WHY TRAIN IN THE USA?

        
 

COST   SAFETY  I  QUALITY  I  TIME   DIVERSITY

 - COST
Most other countries have limited aircrafts and limited airspace.  Because of these two factors, they must increase the cost of all aspects of flying.  In the United States, we have an enormous amount of airspace and an abundance of aircrafts.  Thus, we are able to keep our costs down to a minimum.

 - SAFETY
In the United States, our government (FAA) offers Navigational Aids.  In other countries, Navigational Aids are available to Airlines only.   These incredibly detailed charts can get you from one location to the next in the roughest of weather conditions.  
    

Because of our vast amount of air space, we can reduce the repetition or redundancy of flights.  Complacency clearly leads to more accidents than any one other cause.  New challenges require the pilot to constantly be aware.  The United States of America is the safest place in the world to fly!

 - QUALITY
The U.S. has standardized training.  Our training guidelines are approved and monitored by the FAA in order to produce the highest quality pilots.  We have available to us many types of aircrafts to broaden the pilot’s aviation experience and knowledge.  FAA Pilot Licenses are highly respected and validated around the world as ICAO Pilot Licenses.  Most US Pilots stay within their own massive US Pilot Market, but their training and licenses are so highly esteemed throughout the world, that many US pilots have ventured to fly abroad for companies including pilots flying for airlines such as Korean Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airlines Cargo, and more.
 
The United States has by far the largest aviation industry in the world. When you think about the number of successful, global corporations based in the US (Corporate Jet Departments), the largest military and air force in the world, the USAF & US Navy, the largest economy in the world (including 5 of the 7 largest airlines in the world) and the recent Regional Jet explosion in the states you must come to the conclusion that the quality is superior.

- TIME
Because of our structured flight programs here in the U.S., students are able to finish their desired course(s) in a reasonable amount of time.  We offer several different types of programs to accommodate your needs. Our fast track program can get you your private pilot license in 20 or 30 days or get your commercial rating in as little as six months!

Time building here is also made easy by obtaining your CFI and training students while you build your hours and expertise.
