Flight Training Programs
Private Pilot
Earning your Private Pilot License (PPL) is the foundation of most aviation careers and the first major step toward advanced ratings. A PPL allows you to fly most general aviation aircraft for personal enjoyment, charitable flights, and certain business purposes. Once you hold a PPL, you can begin logging Pilot-in-Command (PIC) time, which is essential for progressing to higher certifications.
Instrument Rating
The instrument rating is a crucial step toward becoming a professional pilot and one of the most rewarding achievements in aviation. It equips you with the skills to fly safely in low-visibility conditions and access airports that many pilots can’t—giving you confidence and peace of mind when traveling to new and unfamiliar destinations.
Commercial Pilot
Commercial training takes your skills to the next level. You’ll gain a deep understanding of your aircraft’s systems, refine your flight planning expertise, and master the regulations that govern commercial pilots under the Federal Aviation Regulations. Best of all, earning your Commercial Pilot Certificate makes you eligible to be paid for flying!
Instructor Ratings
Becoming a flight instructor allows you to shape the next generation of aviators while building your own experience. An instructor certificate is highly valued by employers and can make you a stronger candidate for competitive flying jobs. Piston2Jet offers training for CFI, CFII, and MEI certificates to help you take this important step in your aviation career.
Airline Transport Pilot
The ATP certificate is the highest level of pilot certification issued by the FAA—and a key requirement for airline and many corporate flying careers. At Piston2Jet, we provide expert preparatory training for your ATP check ride, guided by senior instructors with real-world experience who have “been there and done that.”
Multi Engine Training
Coming Soon
When you picture an aircraft operated by a major aviation company, it likely has more than one engine. Earning your multi-engine rating is an essential step toward flying faster, more complex aircraft and advancing your career as a professional pilot. Multi-engine aircraft offer significant advantages, including increased redundancy, higher speeds, greater payload capacity, and extended range.
