Training Commitment Requirements

Professional pilot commercial airline training requires a full-time commitment. You must be available seven days a week. We require student availability five days per calendar week (must be available for four consecutive hours between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.) and a minimum 20 days per month. Kentucky Flight Training Center strives to provide two days off per week, but flexibility is required due to weather, maintenance, and other factors outside of Kentucky Flight Training Center’s control. Our experience indicates that leaving longer than a week is detrimental to completion rates and tuition costs. Any leave must be approved by Course Managers. We are here to provide you with the greatest opportunity to meet course deadlines and achieve your career goals!

If you are unable to meet these training requirements, we do offer a train at your own pace program custom designed to suit your schedule availability. Contact Us to discuss individual courses training plans.
