Is there a pilot shortage?

The aviation industry faces a pilot supply challenge due to a confluence of factors including mandatory retirement ages, early retirements prompted by COVID, and the escalating demand for pilots. Experts predict that within the next year or two, global demand for pilots will surpass the available supply, with this trend anticipated to endure for the next decade.

How it works

At Alto Flight Academy, we offer two different courses for each type of certification and rating: ground school and flight training. In order to receive any certification or rating there are two main requirements and that is passing the FAA written exam and the FAA practical exam (also known as a checkride).

If you're ready to take the first step in learning how to become a pilot or you're looking to take advanced classes to further your pilot career and knowledge, we encourage you to start with our ground school courses. Being in a ground school course is an excellent opportunity to meet fellow pilots in a similar stage in their training as you. Like the expression goes... "it takes a village".
