Why 100 Hours?

Our Mission at Academy of Aviation

• • We're fully committed to helping students achieve their dreams of becoming professional pilots.
• • For most, that dream is to fly for a commercial airline.

Understanding Airline Requirements

• • Airlines are very specific about the type of flight hours they value.
• • It's not just about reaching 1500 total flight hours — the quality and type of those hours matter.

Why Multi-Engine Time Matters

• • Out of the 1500 hours needed, multi-engine flight time is one of the most valuable components.
• • Airlines often prioritize applicants who already have significant experience in multi-engine aircraft.
