Dear Future Commercial Pilot,
Now is the best time in years to become a Commercial Pilot. Over the next two to three years, as pilots reach retirement age, there is going to be a tremendous shortage of commercial pilots. U.S. News and World Report listed Commercial Pilot as one of the fastest growing careers over the next ten years. Now would be the time to get your Commercial License and become a professional pilot. For the next two years you would build hours to qualify for airline work.

The Commercial PILOT (PP) and AIRLINE CAREER PILOT (ACP) Programs at our school are intense, comprehensive courses, lasting just four to five months, and are designed to meet the tough entry requirements for commercial, corporate and airline pilots.

Graduates of from our Commercial Pilot School who are in possession of valid U.S. work papers may be offered employment as CFI's by The Flight School At Palm Springs. Traditionally, only the best pilots with the highest work ethics are invited to join our teaching staff as very well paid instructors.

Many of our graduates have gone on to work for carriers such as AIR CANADA, AMERICAN AIRLINES, AMERICAN EAGLE, AIR FRANCE, AUSTRIAN AIRLINES, CONTINENTAL, EXPRESS JET, FEDERAL EXPRESS, KLM, LUFTHANSA, and SKY WEST.

We offer a variety of high wing and low wing training aircraft, including NEW 2006/07 Cessna 172SP's & 182T's (G-1000 Glass Cockpit and HIGH PERFORMANCE), NEW OMF 160's, Piper Dakota (HIGH PERFORMANCE with AIR CONDITION), turbocharged Piper Arrow, a beautiful "classic" Beech Duchess. Safety is our number one priority for students at our Commercial Pilot School At Palm Springs. All our aircraft undergo meticulous 25, 50 & 100 hour maintenance inspections.

All our Commercial PILOT and AIRLINE CAREER PILOT courses are GUARANTEED, however we'll evaluate your pilot skills during the first two weeks of training. After that we'll decide together whether you should continue the program or not.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF YOUR FLIGHT TRAINING WILL BE CONDUCTED IN OUR NEW, 2006/07 CESSNA 172SP's & turbo charged 182T's, NEW OMF 160's, NEW DA-40's, Cessna 172RG, air conditioned high performance Piper Dakota, Beech Duchess and NEW 2008 DA-42!!!
