Pilot Careers Take Off Quickly At TrexAir
TrexAir is an aviation academy for committed students who are interested in pursuing a single certificate, rating, or airline career. Either way, we’ll get you there, quickly.
Our proprietary Rapid Certification Program (RCP) was developed to maximize your time, money, and confidence in achieving your aviation goals.
We combine ground training, simulators, gamified learning, and in-the-air learning to make flying lessons a fun, effective, and worthwhile investment.

“I struggled to find a program where I could receive personalized instruction at a rapid pace. In addition to moving at a quick pace, TrexAir’s program produces pilot proficiency beyond just the check ride.”

EARN MONEY
After 8 months you can work as a Certified Flight Instructor and offset training costs while accruing flight hours towards commercial certification.
GIVE BACK
Help charities by transferring patients and pets while you gain flying experience.
PLAY TOURIST
Turn practice flights into mini-vacations across California and beyond.
The cost of becoming a pilot ($85,000-$100,000) is comparable to a 4-year university or MBA. Just like college, you can finance your flight school tuition in several ways. However, unlike the average college graduate salary of $55,000, you can expect to earn nearly 6 figures in your first year as a commercial pilot.
Students must have proof of $85,000 in funding to begin training at TrexAir.

Pilots Careers Are Taking Off
With the severe pilot shortage expected to persist for the next 20 years, the sky is the limit for those pursuing a pilot career today.
Becoming a commercial pilot is a lucrative alternative to trade schools, 4-year universities, or graduate degrees, with many pilots earning $200K+ per year.
Whether you are still in high school or looking to change careers later in life, consider becoming a pilot.
