Class Dates

Career pilot start dates are the first and third Monday of each month. (When the first or third Monday is a holiday the start date will be on Tuesday). This circular scheduling system allows out-of-town, transferring, and local students to start at any time during the training season. This flexible start is one of the Academy’s highlights that permits the seamless flow of training modules, and is a great factor in reaching seniority when you start your post-graduate internship with us, and later when you are hired by one of the US operators. Aviation is a profession where seniority is a large factor in hiring and assignments.
