AeroGuard Flight Training Center has announced its new\nFAA-Approved Reduced Hours Commercial Pilot Course, focused on saving aspiring\nfuture commercial pilots time and expense in their training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new course, developed in-house at AeroGuard by its team\nof expert flight instructors, has been specially reviewed and approved by the\nFAA, meeting the same high-quality standards in a lower number of flight hours\nthan is typically necessary for a commercially rated pilot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of Commercial Pilot training, the FAA sets certain\nflight-hour requirements, and for students training in a Part 61 setting, which\nis typically less structured, this is 250 hours of total flight and simulator\ntime. In a more structured Part 141 environment, these hours are decreased to a\ntotal of 220.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AeroGuard’s new Reduced Hours course has been approved at\n165 total hours, meaning that students can complete the program in up to 35%\nfewer total hours and 25% fewer flight-hours, providing significant time and\ncost savings compared with other courses or other top flight schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This FAA approval is based on a complete review of the\nAeroGuard curriculum, as well as the training environment, supporting\nprocesses, and AeroGuard personnel, requiring all areas to meet the highest\nquality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Pilot Shortage in full effect, and airlines looking\nto quickly fill their staffing needs with highly trained pilots, this course\nwill provide huge benefits to airlines as well as students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AeroGuard is partnered with SkyWest Airlines, the largest\nU.S. regional carrier, flying under the flags of American, United, Delta and\nAlaska Airlines. Under this partnership, SkyWest offers AeroGuard students a\nGuaranteed First Officer Final Interview, and a Tuition Reimbursement following\nInitial Operating Experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AeroGuard Flight Training Center has four campuses\nnationwide in Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Each located in areas with ideal\nflight training conditions, including weather and local airspace complexity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new course is available at most AeroGuard locations for\nstudents that join with zero prior flight experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside this course rollout, AeroGuard will also implement\na change to its pricing to allow students to take full advantage of the reduced\nhour requirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
