Pilot Training
Soaring Ambitions, Soaring Achievements: "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast."
Courses
U. S. Flight Academy utilizes its own written and personalized curriculums from USFA Basic Pilot through USFA Airline Transport Pilot. USFA does not short-cut or neglect any areas of flight training and believes that the best safety device in any airplane is a well trained pilot.
Course Outline
Each course is package prices and all previous flight time is acknowledged and prices may be able to be reduced. Also, courses may be separated and broken down, and/or combined to reduce cost. All equipment, books and FAA exam fees are included in the course price. The total amount of practical training depends on aptitude, knowledge, study habits, previous experience, and understanding of the English language, as a certain level of proficiency must be attained before graduation. However, we stand behind our training, and the student can expect to graduate within the allotted cost, which reflects our commitment and belief that you will receive the finest training available to achieve your goals.
U. S. Flight Academy also offers courses consisting of the ground school only and several FAA test preparation courses. Pilot training of the highest standard is provided.
U. S. Flight Academy offers a 93-hour Aviation English Course for students who have English as their secondary language (ESL), which can be coupled with any of our courses.
Our professional courses meet the Civil Aviation Requirements of DGCA – Directorate General of Civil Aviation in India as well as CAAC – Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Degree
In addition to its traditional flight training program, U. S. Flight Academy makes available a strong 2 or 4-year global Internet based aviation degree program from one of our nation’s truly excellent education institutions:
Utah Valley University ( www.uvu.edu/aviation). This provides a superb combination in producing superior aviators who are very well prepared for today’s aircraft cockpits and tomorrow’s aviation challenges. The completion of this program will further serve U. S. Flight Academy students a very prominent edge in today’s job market and provide an excellent placement service for hiring.
For more information, see www.uvu.edu/aviation, the Enrollment Section, or contact a USFA representative.
College Philosophy
This is an Internet based Global Degree Program and the USFA philosophy behind this college flight program is; Commence training at U.S. Flight Academy while obtaining General Education credits at our local Junior College, and upon completion of desired pilot training and general education credits, credits will be given for this training at UVU. The remaining work towards an accredited 2 or 4 years online degree can be completed at UVU while working as a pilot or flight instructor to meet the required aeronautical experience desired to meet airline requirements for employment. The pupil will, therefore, work his or her way through College, not as a pizza delivery person, bartender or taxi driver, but work as an “intern” to build their chosen career while in College, at a frugal tution cost.
This non-traditional aviation college program far surpasses a traditional aviation college program referencing total cost, personal attention, and ease of accomplishment

Like a Medical Doctor needing to work as an intern within his profession to gain practical experience, you will also need to build aeronautical practical experience before meeting the practical experience requirements of the airlines, and the most favorable way of doing this is to become a flight instructor where you will get paid when building your aeronautical experience. Most employers are looking very favorably at instructor experience upon hiring.
By enrolling in our Professional Pilot Program, you can be a Commercial Pilot within eight months from zero time in a relaxed, professional, and rewarding environment. Then, upon graduation, you will get the opportunity to be interviewed for your first aviation job here at the Academy, as we prefer to hire our own graduates who have become accustomed to our concept and structure of training.
You can also work as pipeline pilot, corporate pilot, contract pilot, freelance instructor, ferry pilot, air photography pilot, air taxi pilot, or doing a range of general air services work such as banner towing, aerial surveys, traffic watch or sightseeing, etc. to build your aeronautical experience to meet the airline requirements. There are endless opportunities for entry-level jobs as the airlines are recruiting all pilots with some built-up experience, leaving opportunities for those with no or limited experience.
