Phoenix East is located in central Florida. Are there advantages for me to train there?

General

You bet. There are many advantages to our location. With approximately 350 flying days a year, you are assured of being able to fly according to YOUR preferred schedule rather than weather-dependent scheduling - and even complete your training faster, if you like. Our location at the Daytona Beach airport also gives you quick access to all runways to get you in the air faster. Great weather, easy access. Request PEA Flight School Information

My name is Jason Prestigiacomo and I’m a First Officer for United Express Airlines, operated by Air Wisconsin Airlines. I’m currently based in Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport flying the CRJ. This assignment was made easier because of the flight training I received at Phoenix East Aviation, Daytona Beach, Florida. Career instructors like other flight schools do not run the flight department at PEA. Former airline pilots run it. These pilots have built up thousands of hours in some of the world’s largest and most advanced airliners and know first hand how to make the transition into the airline industry. All of the training is based upon airline standards, which makes things much easier when you step into your first airline or corporate job.

I looked into other flight schools and selected PEA because of their laid-back operation and job placement statistics. I attained all of my certificates and ratings at PEA, and then took a job with them as a Flight Instructor in 2001. If your goal is to become a Boeing 747 Captain or just a weekend pilot, Phoenix East Aviation is the school for you.
