What is the Kilo Charlie Pathfinder Program?
Have you always dreamed of flying? The first step toward legally flying a plane is earning your private pilot license or PPL. While some students choose to obtain this license for recreational purposes, many choose to go on and earn other certifications to start an exciting aviation career.
With your private pilot license, you can transport passengers and even fly internationally within the limits of your license. For those who want to begin a career as a commercial or airline pilot, obtaining your private pilot license is the first step on this journey.
Our Pathfinder program is designed to allow students to commit to just a few hours to see if becoming a pilot either recreationally or for a career is for them.
Requirements for joining the Pathfinder Program
There are few things more invigorating for an aspiring pilot than the idea of learning to fly. Obtaining your pilot’s license doesn’t require any prior knowledge or pilot skills–but there are some basic requirements you have to meet before starting your flight training. Here are the requirements for earning your PPL:
- Must be minimum age of 12 to start in our Pathfinder Program
- Able to speak and understand English
If becoming a pilot is your dream, it’s easy to get started with our Pathfinder program.
