No matter where you are in your flight training journey, the AlphaFlight team will help you attain an exceptional understanding of safety regulations, systems, and flying conditions which will help you stand out in the hiring process for national passenger or cargo carriers. We have our own uncontrolled airspace, runways, and a modern facility to teach you the basics and beyond.

Q & A.

Which certifications and ratings are part of the Career Pilot Program?

We’ve designed a program that starts from zero flight hours. If you already have some training and wish to continue we can adapt it to a curriculum based on your needs. Our standard Career Pilot Program begins with the Symbiotic Aviation Assessment followed with training for Private Pilot License, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot License, Certified Flight Instructor, and Multi-engine Rating.

Will I get credit for previous accomplished flight training?

If you have completed your checkride and acquired your rating or certificate, you will begin your flight training with us at the next available certificate or add on. If you have started flight training elsewhere, considering you are not enrolled in a FAA Part 141 program, then will be evaluated on your prior experience by the General Manager or Chief Flight Instructor to determine skill level before moving on in your training.

What equipment and subscriptions will I need to begin training?

To get started you will students will be using either the Sporty’s Syllabus or Jeppesen Curriculum as a baseline for training depending on the specific rating or certificate, with added mentorship and leadership coaching at no additional cost.

We’ll go over specifics when we speak to you about your flight training plan. Your enrollment fee will cover all the needed equipment, which we will get for you.

How do I get started?

Your first steps prior to enrollment with us are:

1. For Career Pilot Program students to obtain a 1st Class from an FAA approved Aviation Medical Examiner.

2. Complete the Symbiotic Aviation Assessment.

3. Interview with a member of our Flight Operations team, review our requirements for a successful training experience and answer any additional questions that you might have.
