Enrollment |
The FAA has certain prerequisite requirements for the issuance of pilot certificates. These course requirements are as accurate as possible, but certain information may be updated as necessary. Student's needs and interests, as well as other circumstances may prompt changes in course content, fees, rules, curriculum requirements and other matters. Changes duly authorized may apply both to new students and to those previously enrolled, unless otherwise specified.
Enrollment and Student
Visa Requirements
U S Flight Academy has an open door policy. This policy states that any student who is reasonably capable of
operating its aircraft as the aircraft are currently equipped, may
attend after completing an application for admission. No
