The Coast Flight name has long been synonymous with excellence. Since its inception as a top-notch boutique flight school over a decade ago, Coast Flight has retained a dedication to superb quality and personalized flight training instruction. That same standard of excellence has remained at the forefront as Coast has grown to the widely recognized name it is today, with pilot schools in California, Texas, and more coming in the future. Now operating one of the largest training fleets in the country with multifaceted training programs, Coast still retains a close-knit atmosphere between leadership and each student. That’s why the airlines look to Coast’s flight training programs to bring them the best of the best pilots. As one of the top flight schools in the nation with the highest number of conditional job offers in the country, Coast Flight has a reputation for turning out pilots of the highest caliber.
After noticing a fundamental gap in the number of quality training options available, Coast set out to launch an innovative new approach to flight training. The result was a cutting-edge, comprehensive form of flight training that unites professionalism, structure, and quality in military transition, pilot academy, and recreational training offerings.
Led by high-ranking military officers, Coast’s pilot schools are uniquely positioned to originate ideas that matter to aviators of all walks. It was Coast thought leaders who first birthed the now-nationwide concept of RTP in 2016. Since then, Coast’s innovative flight training ideas have continued to become industry standard, with fresh concepts continually emerging to help those with a love of aviation to fund, pursue, and realize their dreams…to the highest potential.
Success only happens when there’s a carefully conceived plan in place. Coast students reap the benefits of training under the most prestigious flight training standards of the U.S. military, because our leadership is composed of a distinguished team of high-ranking military officers. These leaders bring their experience with world class training and management into developing program curriculum that is specially designed to prime students for success. And when you have high-level military officers personally engaging with students, the result is a large number of graduates from our pilot schools landing exactly where they want to go.
At Coast, you have every advantage you need to become the best. We maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio at our Texas and California pilot schools, ensuring our students receive the individualized attention needed to advance down the right path.
