What’s Included:

  • Private Pilot License
  • Instrument Rating
  • Commercial Pilot Certificate
  • Multi-Engine Commercial Add-On
  • Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Certificate

Many of our graduates begin their careers right here at Take Flight as flight instructors — building hours and real-world experience before moving on to the airlines.


🎯 The Fast Track to the Airlines

Your first paid job as a commercial pilot is as a Certified Flight Instructor — reachable in as little as 6–9 months from zero experience. From the time you begin instructing, you can be ready to apply for the airlines in about 18 months — the window it takes to build toward the 1,500 hours they require. A clear, fast path from zero experience to the flight deck. Here’s how we keep you moving:

✈️ Structured, Full-Time Scheduling
Consistent daily flight and ground lessons, mapped out in advance to keep you on track.

📋 Streamlined Progression
Digital syllabi and a dedicated scheduling team keep your training efficient and predictable — no guesswork.

🎓 Industry-Ready Results
Our graduates are flying for regional airlines, corporate operators, and beyond.


📈 An Industry on the Rise

The timing has never been better. According to Boeing’s Pilot Outlook, more than 674,000 new pilots will be needed worldwide over the next 20 years. With a global pilot shortage driving demand, this is your moment to launch a career in the skies.
