3. On top of that, both locations are
well known for their amazing sights
that will become the perfect
addition to your flight training.
Busy airspace with intensive ATC
communication will prepare you for
challenges of modern aviation.
FAA Training
Locations
In the USA we are located
in Miami, Florida and Los
Angeles, California.
Tropical weather makes it
possible to fly year-round.
These conditions make
building your hours quick
so you can jump into the
seat of an airline or
corporate position.
4. Flying Academy, one of the leading global flight
schools, is proud to present our fleet. It consists of
single and multi-engine aircraft maintained at the
highest levels of safety. The whole fleet, at both
continents where we operate, consists of 27 aircraft.
All airplanes in the fleet can be rented for hour building
purposes (full service packages of 25, 50, or 100 hours).
In case of Time Building the rental fee decreases
depending on the amount of hours that you fly.
Aircrafts in USA:

• ATC procedures
10. Flight Training
Different maneuvers you will learn to perform
in the aircraft include:
• Performance Maneuvers: Steep Turns,
Chandelles, Lazy 8s, Steep Spirals
• Ground Reference Maneuvers: 8s on Pylons
• Stalls: Power On, Power Off, Accelerated
• Unusual Flight Attitudes
• Normal, Short-Field, Soft-Field Landings
and Power-off 180
• Emergency Procedures
11. 03At the end of ground training you
will need to pass a written
knowledge exam at an FAA
approved testing center.
Knowledge
Examinations
12. 04
Practical Examinations
At the end of flight training and with successful completion of the
written exam you will be able to take the FAA Checkride to obtain
your pilot rating. The Checkride will begin with the examiner giving
you oral questions of your aeronautical knowledge based on the
Airmen Certification Standards (ACS). After the Oral, you will then
fly with the examiner while he tests your practical skill in the
airplane.
You will need to demonstrate your ability to:
• Complete all maneuvers within tolerances
listed in the Airmen Certification
Standards (ACS)
• Exercise good judgment and airmanship
• Apply aeronautical knowledge
• Maintain control of the airplane at all
times
• Operate the airplane within its limitations
13. In the US, students have the option to choose between two paths when obtaining their pilot
certificates: Depending on the student’s studying preferences, time commitment to the course
or long term goals, the student may choose the path freely upon enrollment.
Part 61
This form of training is rather flexible compared to Part 141, yet generally requires more hours
of training. This path is generally chosen for those who just want to acquire one certification.
This does not exclude those who want to become professional pilots
• Commercial Pilot - 250 total hours
Part 141
This form of training is structured with an outline on how to present the training to the
student. A syllabus (created by the FAA) is provided for every course in which an instructor will
read and interpret accordingly. Those who pursue a professional pilot career tend to go for this
sort of training
