getting started
Step One
You can apply for the 31 week Training Program by completing the online
Flight School Application. Class size is limited and your requested class date
is secured upon receipt of your application and the $2,000 refundable deposit,
and, if applicable, the $500 Visa Application fee. You can pay by Credit Card
or Bank Transfer options on the application. The deposit is fully refundable,
minus any accumulated processing fees and course related costs until 30
days prior to the selected class date. The $500 Visa Application fee is not
refundable.
Step Two
Upon receipt of your application and deposit, we will initiate the visa process
for the month you intend to start training. You will also receive, via email, a
contract which you must print, read, sign and return, via FedEx, as soon as
possible.
Step Three
All non-US citizens must apply for and receive TSA approval prior to initiating
flight training.
Step Four
The balance of the course price must be paid via Bank Transfer prior to
beginning class. Funds are held in trust and dispersed to the school as
training is accomplished.
When the Course Price balance has been paid, and you have received your
M-1 visa you are ready to come to the US to begin your training. We will help
you complete the TSA training once you arrive in the US.
Step Five
You will actually start you training before you actually start class by
completing an on line, Private Pilot Computer Based Ground Training course,
which takes about 4 weeks.
Step Six
It is suggested that you plan to arrive at least 5 days prior to the first day of
class. Our personal representative will meet you when you arrive in the US to
assist you and transport you to your living quarters.
You must have completed the on line ground course when you arrive at the
school for the first day of class. You will receive your indoctrination and be
scheduled to complete the FAA private written exam. Once you have
completed the FAA written Exam with a passing grade you will actually take
your first flight in an airplane with your instructor. |
