THE REXAIR ADVANTAGE
At Rexair Pilot Academy, our main goal is to help you become the best pilot and professional you can be. You will have all the skills, confidence, and flight time you need to reach your personal goal. Rexair is not a one-size-fits-all academy, which means we will give you the personalized assistance you need to find the path that best fits your personality.
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. We understand that each pilot’s journey is different, so we avoid forcing you into just one path.
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?

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.

FIRST SOLO
Talk to any pilot, and they will be able to tell you about the first time they flew an airplane without an instructor on board. It’s an unforgettable experience.

The first credential you will earn on your journey, the private pilot certificate will cap off your initial phase of training. In this phase, you will have learned basic flight maneuvers as well as the navigation and communications procedures you need to be a safe, competent pilot.
INSTRUMENT RATING
Following the private pilot certificate, you will work to obtain your instrument rating. This rating allows pilots to fly in cloudy weather, using only an aircraft’s instruments for navigation.
COMMERCIAL PILOT CERTIFICATE
To earn a commercial pilot certificate, you will accumulate 250 hours of flight time and learn maneuvers that will make you an expert at controlling your aircraft. This certificate will allow you to fly for financial compensation.
FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATE
Becoming a certified flight instructor, or CFI, represents an incredible achievement for any aviator. This certificate will allow you to teach others to fly. After earning it, you will have an opportunity to instruct at Rexair Pilot Academy so you can build more hours.
