Coast Flight Training has created an all-inclusive, accelerated program that provides a clear pathway to becoming an airline pilot. Designed similarly to a military flight training school, Coast Academy was established to give students the structure and personalized attention to complete their training successfully.

Another exciting program is our American Airlines Cadet Academy. Coast has partnered with American Airlines to offer an accelerated flight training program to aspiring pilots. Our American Airlines Cadet Academy first launched at our San Diego location and has quickly seen success among students. Cadets who have been accepted into the program have access to financing, training, mentoring and employment opportunities from American Airlines. The Cadet Academy is an all-inclusive option that allows you to expedite flight training in order to become a commercial airline pilot.

This innovative program creates the opportunity for students to simultaneously pursue their bachelor’s degree and flight training to become a professional pilot.

We offer recreational flight training for those seeking a private pilot license or instrument certification. If learning to fly has always been a dream of yours, Coast Flight Training can help you take the first step. Whether you’re interested in flying for fun or aviation as a career, our instructors at Coast will personalize your training to fit your needs.

The Rotor Transition Program was the first of its kind, created by Coast to provide former helicopter pilots a clear pathway to working for the airlines. Developed by former military helicopter pilots, our Rotor Transition Program is designed to maximize your helicopter experience and streamline your training to get you to the airlines faster. Coast Flight Training has partnered with Envoy, SkyWest and Mesa airlines to provide financing for former helicopter pilots transitioning to fixed-wing aircraft. We collaborated with these airlines to offer a fully funded training option to rotor pilots. Coast has had the pleasure of graduating over 400 pilots in this program and is proud to have served those most deserving.

Our General Training program allows students the flexibility to train at their own pace and design their training around their goals and availability. This program was established to give students the opportunity to create their own training schedule while still following our Coast Training System. Students can train full time, part time, or have a varying schedule week to week. This guided program includes both in-person ground training, simulator training, and flight training lessons.
