At TSAA, we value providing quality instruction and well maintained aircraft while also holding our students to high standards, ensuring they are prepared for a bright future in the aviation field.

I would like to become an airline pilot, how can TSAA help me?

To reach the airlines, pilots must receive a few different licenses before continuing on to the airlines:

Private Pilot License PPL — The first step for any aspiring pilot, this certificate allows a pilot to fly an aircraft under visual flight rules for leisure, business, or as a first step towards becoming an airline pilot.

Instrument Rating IFR — An instrument rating opens many new doors for pilots, including flying through clouds and descending as low as 200ft from the runway using only the instruments aboard the aircraft.

Commercial Pilot License CPL — The commercial pilot certificate allows a pilot to begin flying for hire, with this certificate, many doors open for a pilot to begin building hours and experience, such as

• Private/charter pilot
• Certificated Flight Instructor
• Cargo pilot

4) Multiengine Rating MEL — The multiengine rating allows pilots to fly a wide array of new aircraft, usually bigger and faster aircraft such as jets, and is generally considered one of the last stepping stones on the way to the airlines.
