 Training
at FlightSafety Academy does more than prepare you for a career
in aviation — it provides you with a professional partner
and the experiences you need to succeed. Of the many reasons
the Academy is the right choice, we’ve listed some of
the primary benefits FSI offers to the aspiring professional
pilot.
The Academy is dedicated to the career-oriented pilot, and FSI
admissions requirements are based on airline standards. Airlines
and corporate flight departments know of this dedication and
recognize FlightSafety Academy graduates as some of the most
well-prepared and committed pilots. Because of FSI reputation
for having such high standards, FSI graduates are often the
most sought after newcomer pilots in the industry.
FlightSafety Academy owns and operates one of the largest training
fleets in the industry. Consisting of more than 80 single- and
multi-engine aircraft, including 20 Piper Seminoles, FSI fleet
is dedicated to the exclusive use of Academy students and instructors.
When you need an aircraft for training, you know one will be
ready for you. And to ensure FSI fleet is one of the safest
in the industry, FSI provide a comprehensive on-site maintenance
program in their own FAA-approved repair station. This program
includes standard checks every 60 hours – more often than
the recommended frequency of every 100 hours.
| A Fully Accredited
School |
FlightSafety Academy is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration;
by the U.S. Department of Education; by the U.S. Department
of Justice for non-immigrant training; and is licensed by the
Commission of Independent Education, Florida Department of Education,

| It's Where
The Professional Train |

and placement assistance, FSI offer workshops and seminars on

Center maintains a current list of job openings and a library
of hiring requirements and applications for regional airlines
and corporate/charter operators. FSI do this for one reason:
to prepare you for the career you’ve always wanted.
| More Multi-Engine
Experience |
Airlines require pilots to have a great deal of multi-engine
experience before they’re hired. That’s why FSI
Professional Pilot Program offers at least 30 hours of training
in FSI’s multi-engine flight training devices (Frasca
142) and 55 hours of multi-engine in-flight training. Additionally,
instructor pilots at the Academy have the opportunity to earn
several hundred multi-engine hours during the first year of
instructing. While most schools provide only 10 to 15 hours
of multi-engine experience, FlightSafety Academy goes beyond
the norm to ensure you are ready for your future.
| High-Tech
Training Equipment |
Effective training starts with technologically advanced training
aides. FlightSafety Academy offers some of the most modern and
high-tech equipment of any flight school. The Academy has six
Frasca 142 visual flight trainers, which provide you with excellent
multi-engine instrument experience prior to flight, and a dedicated
PCATD training lab. FSI are one of the only academies to offer
effective ground training in spatial disorientation with FSI’s
GAT II motion trainer and, unlike other schools, the Academy
provides Unusual Attitude/Spin Recovery training in a Zlin 242L
aircraft as a required element in most of it’s courses.
| High-Tech
Training Equipment |
The best pilots must learn how to fly on the ground before they
get their wings in the sky. At FlightSafety Academy, students
in Professional Pilot Program undergo more than 280 hours of
academic education before graduating. FSI also limit class sizes
to better provide opportunities for individual instruction.
Most courses are FAR Part 141 approved, and some Part 61 training
is available as well. Unlike most schools, the Academy offers
education in other areas important to airlines and flight departments,
such as Crew Resource Management. The Academy also maintains
Self-Examining Authority from the FAA, allowing FSI to provide
students with immediate official written exam results. What
does this mean to you? You’ll graduate knowing you’re
fully prepared for a solid career.
To be a professional pilot, it’s best to train with a
school that offers a variety of options for a professional career.
At FlightSafety Academy, FSI provide you with three career paths
to choose from so you can start a career that best fits you.
In fact, FlightSafety Academy is the only flight academy to
offer a track into corporate aviation. If you’re looking
for a school that gives you options, you’ll find it in
FlightSafety Academy.
| Flying Friendly
Environment |
FlightSafety Academy’s setting offers several advantages
your neighborhood flight school probably can’t provide.
Because FSI are located in Vero Beach, Florida, you benefit
from ideal flying weather year round, day and night. Furthermore,
the Academy has the advantage of being on an airport complete
with its own control tower with radar depiction and instrument
approaches.
