Become a Profesional Pilot through our elite partnership with SkyWest Airlines
FLT Academy is an Elite Partner of SkyWest Airlines, one of only three in the nation and the only Elite Partner with examining authority.
FLT Academy is proud to be the only Utah-based Elite Partner of SkyWest Airlines, offering an exclusive pathway designed to give committed student pilots defined advantages, early airline engagement, and priority positioning throughout their training and transition to the airlines.
This program is designed to support pilots from the beginning of training through their transition to airline employment with a level of access unique in Utah.
With examining authority, your training and final certifications are handled in-house, which means no waiting on third-party examiner availability. That means fewer delays, a smoother path to certification, and a faster track to the airlines. Learn more about examining authority here
