Our Professional Pilot Program is offered as a fixed-price, zero-to-CFI package at $89,995, so you know your full investment before you start rather than guessing at an hourly rental rate. We also offer a standalone 14-week in-person ground school for $499.99 that includes an FAA exam pass guarantee.

We are headquartered at Shelbyville Municipal Airport (KSYI) in Shelbyville, TN. Shelbyville is our primary training headquarters, not a satellite location, so you have full access to our complete fleet, ground school, and in-house maintenance team from day one. Visit the Shelbyville training page for the full program overview.

Shelbyville, TN is our primary training headquarters. We also operate a training base at Tupelo Regional Airport (KTUP) in Mississippi. Both locations run the same fixed-price programs and modern fleet, so your choice comes down to which base is more convenient for you.

Your first step should be a Discovery Flight, where you meet an instructor, see the aircraft, and take the controls before committing to a full program. This gives you a real feel for training at KSYI before you enroll.

Our 14-week in-person ground school is built so you actually understand the physics and mechanics of flight rather than memorizing test answers from a generic online course. It comes with an FAA written exam pass guarantee, and it runs alongside your flight training at the Shelbyville base.

You will train in our modern fleet, including Vans RV-12iS aircraft with Garmin G3X Touch displays and GFC 500 autopilots, plus our Piper Aztec for multi-engine training. Our in-house maintenance team keeps the fleet on schedule so you are not stuck waiting on availability.
