Professional Pilot Career Path with our Accelerated Flight Training Motivated individuals who take full advantage of our accelerated career pilot program can conceivably go from "zero" experience to flying for the airlines in as little as 12 to 18 months.

For individuals who are interested in a career as a professional pilot, langaAir has developed a structured step-by-step approach to accomplish that goal.

As you may already know, there are basic ratings or licenses that must be held in order to fly professionally. Once the basic flight training is completed and the flight ratings are awarded, you may then be concerned with building flight experience, which is measured in flight hours. Airlines, cargo operators, charter operations, and corporate flight departments will normally only consider candidates who posses a minimal amount of flight time for employment. Since most individuals fall short of the "employable level" of flight experience immediately after completing their initial flight ratings, the next step may be to find an economical means of building flight time experience. Through langaAir's flight instructor internship phase, you will gain the valuable flight time needed to move to your next career step.

Further, most employers in this industry prefer pilots who have completed some college. Through our affiliation with a local college, you will receive college credit for every course completed at no additional charge - this may be the most cost effective, best valued pilot degree program in the country.
