Our Lift Off For Tomorrow (LOFT) program is designed for aspiring professional pilots who want to launch their aviation careers with confidence, skill, and efficiency. From zero Flight time to Certified Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII), the LOFT track is our most comprehensive training solution—streamlined, supportive, and structured for success.

Program Timeline & Investment

Most students complete the LOFT program in 6 to 9 months depending on availability, commitment, and weather. This full-time path is intensive but achievable—with full support from our team and structured scheduling to minimize delays.

Training Environment

You’ll train in a clean, reliable fleet of IFR-equipped aircraft with modern avionics. Lessons follow a custom syllabus designed to build mastery—not just check boxes. Our instructors are career-minded and coach you not just to pass a checkride, but to act and think like a professional aviator from your first day to your first student.

Career Outcomes

We stay connected to corporate operators and Part 135 carriers across the country. Many of our graduates go on to work as instructors, corporate pilots, or Airline First Officers. We’re happy to assist with career coaching, resume building, and interview prep after graduation.
