Whether you’re starting from scratch or renewing your pilot’s license, there are so many reasons to learn to fly at CTI Professional Flight Training. Here are our top five!

FAA-approved training that gets you industry-ready

CTI Professional Flight Training is an FAA-approved Part 141 flight academy.  This guarantees you’ll follow a course that’s structured clearly and taught by professionals with extensive experience.  Even if you’ve never flown before, you’ll cover everything you need to obtain your airline transport pilot certificate and go straight into the industry afterward.

What’s more, our examining authority means we can even schedule your final examination with an in-house instructor, so you don’t have to wait for a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) to become available.

The instructors at CTI Professional Flight Training love what they do, and our students love them! We’ve carefully selected every instructor for their experience, passion, and teaching ability, so you can be sure you’re learning from the best.

Our instructors follow the Jeppesen Pilot Training System – an application-oriented approach which doesn’t just teach you the facts, but also the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of each concept.
