D&J Aviation and AeroStar Partner to Launch PPAC — a Structured Ground School, Multi-Engine and ATP-CTP Pilot Pathway

March 23, 2026

Florida, USA – D&J Aviation, an Apopka, Florida-based flight training organisation, and AeroStar Training Services, an FAA-certified Part 141 and 142 training centre in Kissimmee, Florida, have announced a formal partnership and the launch of the Professional Pilot Advancement Course™ (PPAC™) — unveiled at the Women in Aviation International conference as a structured, end-to-end professional development pathway from advanced ground training through to ATP-CTP certification.

  • The PPAC™ is structured across three sequential components: PPAC™ Ground School delivered by D&J Aviation; D&J's proprietary 5-Day Multi-Engine Programme®; and ATP-CTP training delivered by AeroStar Training Services — creating a defined progression path aligned with the regulatory and practical requirements for airline entry.
  • D&J Aviation operates six twin-engine Piper Seminoles exclusively dedicated to its trademark 5-Day Multi-Engine Programme® and professional pilot development, with the fleet supporting accelerated multi-engine rating completion as the practical bridge between ground school and ATP-CTP training.
  • D&J Aviation has been named AOPA Flight School of the Year for the Southeast two years in a row, reflecting its standing as a recognised professional pilot training provider in the Florida market.
  • AeroStar Training Services was founded in 2008 and specialises in ATP-CTP training, Airbus A320, and Boeing 737 type ratings, with a track record of preparing pilots for the airline environment across its Kissimmee and Miami campus locations.
  • The ATP-CTP component of PPAC™ is the US regulatory prerequisite for pilots seeking an Airline Transport Pilot certificate — a mandatory step before first officer airline employment — making the end-to-end PPAC™ structure directly applicable to commercial pilots in the final qualification stages of their airline career pathway.
