About the P3 Professional Pilot Program

The P3 Program is designed for motivated individuals ready to fast-track their careers in aviation. It is built on three core pillars: high-quality training, financial efficiency, and professional development. With these principles in mind, we have developed a structured, cost-effective approach to help dedicated students reach their goals quickly.

Training Timeline

• Weeks 0–10: Private Pilot License (PPL)
  Learn foundational flying skills including takeoffs, landings, navigation, and emergency procedures. This stage builds safe habits and basic knowledge needed for all advanced training.

• Weeks 11–18: Instrument Flight Rating (IFR)
  Develop the ability to fly in a broader range of weather conditions by relying on instruments rather than visual cues. You’ll learn to navigate complex airspace, communicate with air traffic control, and use systems like GPS, VOR, and ILS.

• Weeks 19–30: Commercial License – Single and Multi-Engine (CSEL/CMEL)
  Advance your skills by learning to fly single-engine and multi-engine aircraft to commercial standards. Refine your maneuvers, improve precision, and prepare for FAA checkrides.

• Weeks 31–38: Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
  Start your career by teaching others. As a CFI, you’ll earn income while gaining valuable experience and logging flight hours. This is often the most efficient and cost-effective way to reach the 1,500 hours many airlines require.

This program is intensive and fast-paced, offering an incredible opportunity for those who are committed and ready to take aviation seriously. While some prerequisites are required, we’re happy to discuss flexible options depending on your background.
