Florida Aviation Academy has a unique approach to flight training.  Our philosophy is to keep a low student/instructor/aircraft ratio (maximum of 2 students per aircraft and per flight instructor) at the school at any given time so that we can immerse the students in their studies with special emphasis on their flying.

Florida Aviation Academy’s 0 hours to Commercial License takes 16 weeks in comparison to 8-12 months offered by most other flight schools and colleges for the same program. During this time the students will earn their Private License, Instrument Rating, fly approximately 120 Hours of Solo Cross Country for time building and ultimately earn their Single or Multi Commercial Licenses at 250 hours under FAA Part 61 regulations. This program has been developed for individuals who want to become professional pilots. It prepares them for the fast paced and multi-tasked environment that is common to all air carriers.

Each instructor has only one or two full time students and all instruction is one on one, in contrast to the traditional classroom approach. This method allows individualized attention and is custom tailored to maximize efficiency of each student’s program. Every student is scheduled for two, two-hour lessons with their instructor. The time in between is used for studying on computer stations or watching the audio-visual tapes that compliment each day’s lesson. Students typically spend 6-8 hours a day at the school, 6 days a week under this program
