REXAIR PILOT ACADEMY:
THE 30,000 FOOT VIEW
WHY BECOME A PROFESSIONAL PILOT?
While some dream of a comfy corner office, others aim way up high. Indeed, have you ever thought about taking your job to the skies?
According to the recent Boeing forecast, about 649,000 pilots will be needed in the next 20 years. Also, as of May 2022, the average yearly pay for commercial pilots was $103,910, with the top 10% earning over $217,530 each year. These jobs often come with good benefits and lots of chances to travel. So, if you want to be a pilot, now is a great time to make your dreams a reality.
THE REXAIR ADVANTAGE
At Rexair Pilot Academy, our main goal is to help you become the best pilot and professional you can be. With our special 360-Degree Pilot Training, we do more than teach you how to fly an advanced aircraft. More importantly, we help you build the required work skills to give you an advantage in the job market.
In addition, because our classes are small, you’ll get the personal help you need to succeed. A key part of our program is individualized career counseling. We understand that each pilot’s journey is different, so we avoid forcing you into just one path.
Our program is made to take you from having zero flight time to becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) in just eight months. During this time, you’ll use simulators and fly the Vans RV-12 to gain the experience you need to become a commercial pilot. After you finish our program, you may even get the chance to teach flying at Rexair. This will allow you to get the extra flight hours required to move to the next step of your career.
WHAT WE OFFER
To achieve this, Rexair Pilot Academy offers an accelerated, highly personalized flight training program. Specifically, for just eight months, this program will take you from zero time in the cockpit to a commercial pilot position. Throughout this period, you will earn your Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, and Flight Instructor Certificate—all the credentials required to begin flying for a living. And for interested students, an opportunity to work as a flight instructor at Rexair will be available following completion of the program.
WHO IS OUR PROGRAM FOR?
There are many different types of people who decide to become pilots. For example, you might be a high school student seeking a different route to a high-paying and fulfilling career that doesn’t require a college degree. Alternatively, you may already be a professional in a different field but desire a more adventurous lifestyle. Whatever your situation, we will work with you to identify a career progression that suits you as an individual and help you chart a path toward your goals.
WHERE WE ARE LOCATED
The Rexair Pilot Academy campus is located at Sebring Regional Airport (KSEF) in Sebring, Florida. Sebring is an ideal location for flight instruction, as the climate provides many clear, sunny days year-round.
Interestingly, the town of Sebring strikes a perfect balance. Beyond the good weather, it is also big enough to provide access to amenities such as a shopping mall, movie theaters, boating, and other recreational activities. Yet, it remains small enough to allow easy transportation without the frustrations of heavy traffic.
In terms of finding where to stay, there’s no need to worry. We’ve got you covered. While you’re with us, you’ll be staying in Sebring Square, a gated neighborhood with new three-bedroom houses. You’ll be next door to your classmates, which means you’ll be able to study, network, and recreate with other pilots during your time at our school.
