Equipment and Instructors
Our fleet consists of 10
aircraft. They are equipped with intercoms, autopilots, HSI and IFR approach certified GPS. We train primarily in factory-new C-172S aircraft. Many are even equipped with state of the
art, glass cockpits. Complex commercial training flights take place in Piper Arrows. Aero-Tech's own Cessna Service Center maintains our fleet to airline standards. Aero-Tech's maintenance
staff is always available to resolve any mechanical problem in a most expeditious manner. Your instructors are all experienced professionals, some with airline backgrounds, and each is accredited by
the Cessna Aircraft Company.
About Simulator Training
Every
major and regional airline relies on the effectiveness of simulators for pilot training. Corporate and commercial operators pay top-dollar at name-brand sim-centers to train pilots. Even a new pilot can
benefit from simulator training. Our wrap around visual system helps you to forget that you not in the actual airplane and our unique full-motion makes your flying experience feel real. See the simulator.
Simulators provide 100% efficiency in training
by eliminating ATC delays, taxi time and set up time for instrument procedures. One hour of simulator training equates to two hours in an airplane. Practice CRM. Learn to handle all types of
situations. Our special situational training scenarios allow you to experience real flights taken from real NTSB files. Practice and rehearse instrument and emergency procedures until they become
comfortable and instinctive. Control your training environment by altering weather to suit your flight - good or bad. Day or night. Systems failures. You and your instructor control it all to provide
real training for real situations.
Prerequisites
You
must possess a second-class medical, a single-engine land, Private Pilot certificate, at least 40 hours of total time, and two years of college study, or equivalent work experience, prior to
enrollment in Aero-Tech's Fast Track Career Pilot Program.
You may obtain your Private Pilot Certificate at Aero-Tech, prior to entering the Fast Track Career Pilot Program. The
cost is approximately $8,000.00. We can provide a complete breakdown of costs and requirements. Acquiring a Private Pilot Certificate is the only possible way to ensure that you have the foundation
knowledge and aviation familiarization to decide on a flying career. A Private Pilot certificate makes it possible to make an informed decision on a professional-level career pilot program.
Once you are a Private Pilot, Aero-Tech will administer simulator and written evaluations, and an interview to assess your aeronautical knowledge and aptitude for acceptance into the
Fast Track Career Pilot Program. The cost of the interview is $100.00 and will be conducted at the Lexington Aero-Tech Career Pilot Training Center. Following your interview, the Chief instructor
will determine your acceptance by Aero-Tech for the Fast Track Career Pilot Program.
Scheduling
Your interview may be scheduled by contacting the Lexington Aero-Tech campus. Have your credit card ready. Courses begin every week. Upon successful completion of
the interview process and your acceptance into the program, you may select a class-start date, usually within four to six weeks, depending upon space availability. Your dispatchers will schedule
your training and leisure time for maximum efficiency and learning potential.
Locations
We offer our Fast Track Career Pilot Program in Lexington, KY at the Blue Grass Airport. We find it important that a career-pilot candidate experience commercial airport
operations training environment. KLEX is serviced by a variety of reliable instrument procedures and provide for important ATC interaction necessary for career pilots.
Accommodations
Accommodations are available in close proximity to our airports. You are
responsible for the cost of accommodations and transportation to and from school. These costs are not included in the cost of your training program. On on-staff concierge is available to assist
you in making arrangements.
Completion Time
The Fast Track Career Pilot Program requires 120 to 150 days to complete. You must be available seven days a week, 24 hours per day for study and training. Our dispatchers will schedule plenty of rest time, but very little social time. Your schedule may also include one or two short trips home if absolutely necessary.
Deposit
Upon successful completion of the interview process, a
$3,000.00 nonrefundable, unconditional deposit, by authorized credit card or check is required to reserve your training slot. Upon receipt of your deposit, you will be sent the required materials and a
preliminary training schedule.
Payment
Payment may be made in
the form of check, cash, traveler's checks, or cashier's check. Credit card payments will not be accepted. Payment will be made in three installments of $14,500; 1) due upon
arrival. The 2nd and 3rd payments are due every four weeks after the course start date. The course fee covers the cost of the five required written exams (IRA, CAX, FIA, FII, FOI) and flight
examiners' fees.
Financing
Pilot Finance provides loans to
qualified applicants. An application can be obtained from Aero-Tech. Complete the application and return to Aero-Tech. Application processing can be completed after receipt of the evaluation
fee.
Refund Policy
In the event training is terminated, a prorated refund, less training materials and administrative fees (approximately 25%) will be made within thirty days. Aero-Tech reserves the right to cancel your training at any time your performance or attitude do not meet the standards of the Fast Track Career Pilot Program.
Instructor Placement
Graduates are given first consideration for placement as an instructor to work at Aero-Tech. Aero-Tech selects graduates as needed for all our locations. Our instructor pay is above national average. The majority of students who have completed Aero-Tech instructor courses have worked with us. In addition, Aero-Tech graduates fill vacancies at flight schools all over the nation.
In Summary
Fast Track is not a program for the average student. However, if you have your heart set on an aviation career and are mature enough to complete goals on a deadline, then you will be very pleased. We promise not to accept your enrollment unless we feel that you have the ability to be successful in the Program and as a career pilot. You can still complete all your flight training on an accelerated pace without Fast Track - the only difference being that the price and completion date in not guaranteed.
The industry will lose a significant number of pilots in upcoming years due to retirement; and airlines are expanding their fleet size. Now is the time to be professionally
trained as a Career Pilot. The staff at Aero-Tech is in a unique position to provide quality training and direction to prepare you for a demanding, but exciting and rewarding
career. Aero-Tech takes the difficulty out of choosing the best school for your career training package.
