Market Intelligence: -Flight School

Texas, USA – US Aviation Academy (USAA), one of the largest aviation and pilot training organizations in North America operating over 200 aircraft, has highlighted its industry-leading record in hiring graduates as flight instructors across its 11 training campuses.

• US Aviation Academy employs more than 325 flight instructors, sustaining a hiring rate of upwards of 90% for its graduates.

• The high instructor placement rate addresses one of the key challenges for new pilots: securing their first professional flying job to build flight hours.

• With its nationwide scale, advanced simulators, and airline-style training structure, the academy provides a professional pathway that smaller Part 61 schools often cannot replicate.

• Graduates benefit from direct pathways to the airlines through partnerships with United Aviate and Delta Propel, giving them preferred hiring opportunities at regional carriers and eventually at the majors.

• The large footprint of 11 campuses ensures a continuous demand for instructors, creating consistent opportunities for new graduates to transition into teaching roles and accelerate their professional development.

Statements

• “When choosing a flight school, one of the most important considerations is not only the quality of training but also the career opportunities that follow,” said Steve Kugler, Vice President of Business Development at US Aviation Academy. “Unlike many smaller Part 61 schools, which often lack the structure or scale to hire their own graduates, US Aviation Academy boasts a high flight instructor hiring rate of upwards of 90%. This means that nearly every graduate has the chance to stay with the academy, build hours quickly, and gain valuable experience in a professional training environment.”
