First-Attempt Checkride Pass Rate
The national average is 69%. The gap is our curriculum, our instructors, and our obsession with your checkride.
Zero to Private Certificate
Average across all FlightPath students in 2025. Not a best-case scenario — a median. Your mileage depends on weather and scheduling, not preparation.
You don't need a year. You need a plan.
Most people assume getting a pilot's license takes 18 months. Our structured Part 141 curriculum compresses the timeline without cutting corners. Ground school runs concurrent with flight training. Every lesson is sequenced. Nothing repeats.
Your certificate opens specific doors, not generic ones.
We maintain active recruiting relationships with 38 regional and national carriers. Our Career Placement team submits your application package directly to hiring managers. The average time from ATP certificate to first airline interview is 11 weeks for FlightPath graduates.
Where Our Graduates Fly
From regional carriers to major airlines. SkyWest, Mesa, Envoy, Republic, United Express — our hiring partners recruit directly from FlightPath's ATP pipeline.

"I walked in knowing nothing about aviation. 142 days later I had my private certificate. The pass rate stat isn't marketing — I passed first attempt because of how they prepared me."
