Engine Program.

Why 100 Hours?

Our Commitment at SunState Powered by Academy of Aviation

• We're passionate about helping students turn their aviation goals into reality.
• For many, that goal is to build a career as a commercial airline pilot.

What Airlines Are Really Looking For

• Airlines don't just look at how many hours you've flown — they focus heavily on the kind of flight time you have.
• While 1,500 hours is the minimum required, the type of experience within those hours is what really counts.

The Value of Multi-Engine Experience

• Multi-engine hours are among the most important flight time you can log.
• Applicants with strong multi-engine backgrounds are often preferred by commercial airlines.

About Our 100-Hour Multi-Engine Career Program

• This program is designed to give our students a head start by focusing early on multi-engine flying.
• It includes 100 hours of multi-engine flight time, offering a major advantage when applying to airlines.

  • Private Pilot Certificate

  • Instrument Rating
  • Multi-Engine and Single Engine Commercial Pilot Certificate
  • Single-Engine Add-On to further broaden their experience.
