Career Pilot Program
Blue Sky Aviation's career pilot training program is designed to provide enrollees all of the tools and qualifications necessary to launch a professional aviation career in airlines, charter, private/business aviation, or flight instructing.
​
Applicants can train full time or part time, and train at their own pace. A typical progression is as follows:
-
Private Pilot Rating​​
-
Instrument Rating
-
Commercial Rating
-
Flight Instructor Ratings
-
Multiengine Rating
​
Unlike other flight schools, Blue Sky's career pilot program is completely individualized and tailored to the needs and goals of the specific enrollee. All training is conducted under FAR part 61 and completed to FAA standards.
Prior to initiating training, applicants meet with an instructor to develop (PEAP) from which program cost and duration estimates can be determined. Previous flight experience is not required. Applicants with existing pilot ratings are welcome at Blue Sky, as well as foreign citizens with current TSA/FTSP authorization. For more information, or to set up your free appointment
