Fly Legacy Aviation: Your Secret Weapon to build flight hours.
As a pilot in training, to build flight hours can often seem like a chore. It’s time-consuming, can be expensive, and can often feel like you’re running on a treadmill where the “1,500-hour finish line” keeps getting farther away. Enter Fly Legacy Aviation – a flight school that actually gets it. Based in South Florida and Philly, we’ve cracked the code on turning the “flight hour” grind into a legitimate career launchpad. Here’s how you can do it.
Why Fly Legacy Doesn’t Just “Add Hours” – We Add Value
Flight hours are the currency of aviation, but not all hours are created equal. Flying circles in the middle of nowhere won’t impress airline recruiters. Fly Legacy throws you into the deep end of real-world flying: think busy airspace, actual ATC chatter, and weather that keeps you on your toes (looking at you, Florida thunderstorms). It’s like flight training on steroids, but legal.
Become a CFI
The golden ticket? Our Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) program. Instead of dumping cash to rent planes, you get paid to build hours. Here’s the deal:
- Learn to teach: Master right-seat flying, nail lesson plans, and survive the FAA’s FOI exam.
- Work immediately: Graduate? Congrats, you’re hired! Fly Legacy slings you into a paid CFI gig where you’ll log 300-500 hours a year while mentoring potential pilots.
- Pay to Teach: The growing cycle of pilots continues as Fly Legacy will pay you while you get your hours to teach new pilots!
Fly Where the Action Is
North Perry Airport (Florida) isn’t just a sleepy little field. You’ll tackle:
- Communication with the tower operators with actual traffic, so you can learn the ins and outs of communicating with the tower.
- Action-packed runway where you will be in real-time situations with planes in line and run through the same protocols all airlines follow in real-time!
- Weather drama: From Florida’s pop-up storms to uncharted windy conditions, you’ll learn to adapt on the fly.
This isn’t “logging hours.” It’s building legitimate skills that airlines will reward for.
We’ll Hold Your Hand
