Today\u2019s news cycle is filled with stories about the need for\nproperly trained pilots to meet an increasing demand that shows little signs of\nslowing — and every sign of not only greater demand, but a requirement for\neven greater skills from new pilots entering the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new flight training academy, based on an already\nsuccessful flight school that has been serving the flight training community\nfor the better part of a decade, has arisen to meet the increasingly difficult\ndemands for training tomorrow\u2019s aviation transportation professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sling Pilot Academy, based in Torrance CA, is the\nbrainchild of three aviation entrepreneurs, Wayne Todden, Jean d\u2019Assonville,\nand Matt Liknaitzky, who have been working in a number of aviation disciplines\nfor decades, and are more than well-acquainted with what will be required to be\ncompetitive and SAFE as the aviation industry continues to evolve in the coming\nyears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Equipped with all new Next-Generation Sling training\naircraft, using the latest in modern powerplant and glass cockpit display\ntechnology, Sling Pilot Academy effectively wields the double-edged sword of\ncombining proper expert preparation for tomorrow\u2019s airline pilots, as well as\nproviding cost-effective quality training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complete Professional Flight Training programs that may be\nundertaken in under 9 months, from first flight to course completion, are\navailable now for under $63,000. And while the price of the program is less\nthan many other such courses, the company leaves nothing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A student working the entire program completes the\ncurriculum with more than a basic Commercial Pilot\u2019s license with an Instrument\nrating, but is equipped to go right to work in today\u2019s challenging aviation\nindustry. They also leave SPA with a multi-engine rating as well as the three\nPrimary Instructor ratings — Certified Flight Instructor\/Airplane,\nCFI\/Instrument-Airplane and CFI\/Multi-Engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
