Your Airline Pilot Career Starts Here
Glass Panel training is typically introduced during the Instrument Pilot phase but can encompass all of the single engine training if desired. We utilize the latest simulator technology to enhance training as well as greatly reduce the overall cost of professional pilot training. Simulator training is also utilized to prepare our students for the interview phase when applying for airline positions and developing the very best CRM skills.
Our degree program with A-B Tech can kick start your career by reducing the total number of hours you need logged in order to be eligible for hire by the airlines. Following the degree program also opens the door to traditional student loans and grants not otherwise available for flight training.
All students that complete our Professional Pilot Program through CFI are offered a position as an instructor with WNC Aviation, LLC or one of our other pilot programs. Email us to contact one of our career training specialists.
