  American Winds Flight Academy's Financial Aid 

Student Career Training Loan
American Winds is a leader in the quality fast track flight training.  Our relationship with Key Bank, SLM Financial - a Sallie Mae Company, and the Veterans Administration has enabled us to help provide financial aid and government benefits to our students in a timely manner and a cost effective way.  We are pleased to help you in the student loan process.

Use your Sallie Mae to Become a Career Pilot
The FAA offers many types of Certificates and Ratings.  The first certificate to obtain is the Private Pilot License in a Single Engine Airplane.   Once the Private Pilot course is completed and passed, the student will move onto the Instrument Rating.  The Commercial License is next.  The student may choose to obtain the Commercial Single Engine License followed by the Commercial Multi Engine License or vice versa.  Aviation careers require the Commercial Multi Engine and typically at least 100 hours of multi engine time.  Of course the multi hours required depends on the individual company.

Once the student has achieved their goal of becoming a Commercial pilot, they may need additional flight hours to land their perfect aviation position.  The Student may wish to obtain their Certified Flight Instructors License (CFI), Certified Flight Instrument Instructors License (CFII), or Multi Engine Flight Instructors License (MEI).  The aforementioned licenses will allow the student to build additional flight time, get paid, and advance their knowledge and aviation maturity.
