For New York students set on a professional flying career, High Flight Academy near Pittsburgh is worth the move. Crowded airspace, high costs, and long waitlists make accelerated training hard to find in the Northeast. High Flight offers the High Gear accelerated program, Sallie Mae financing, and immersive seven-day-a-week training designed to get career students to the airlines on a clear timeline.
The fastest way to a professional pilot certificate is full-time, immersive training with aircraft available when you are. That's difficult and expensive to find around New York, and it's exactly what High Flight is built for.
Here's what you get by making the move:
We're the only non-accredited flight school in the region approved for Sallie Mae student loans, and Stratus Financial is available too. No college enrollment required.
A proprietary 12-month path from beginner to commercial pilot, built on FAA Part 141 standards so you reach each rating in fewer hours.
16+ aircraft, an on-site Redbird full-motion simulator, 25+ instructors, and seven-day-a-week scheduling, with no congested schedules to fight.
Once you're here, the structure does the work. Here's the arc.
Individual timelines vary with weather, scheduling, and aptitude. Your assigned instructor and our Chief Flight Instructors build a training plan around your goals.
If you're serious about flying for a living and open to relocating, let's map your path to the airlines. Book a Discovery Flight or call 724-481-1359.
