Zero-Variable Academy Contracts.
Aviation training is traditionally plagued by hidden fees and unpredictable hourly rates. We engineered strict, fully burdened turnkey contracts. Every phase below includes your flight hours, ground school, and all FAA credentialing fees (Written Exams & DPE Checkrides). You buy the pipeline, not the hour.
The Foundation
Private Pilot Certificate (PPL)
The entry point. A mathematically precise syllabus designed to take a candidate from zero experience to a fully credentialed FAA Private Pilot, executed entirely in the glass-cockpit Bristell NG5.
- ✓ 45 Hours Advanced Flight (100% Bristell)
- ✓ 35 Hours Formal Ground Instruction
- ✓ All FAA Fees: Class 3 Medical, Written Exam, & DPE Checkride
The Cloud Layer
Instrument Rating (IFR)
The most critical safety upgrade in aviation. Instead of relying on simulators, we put you directly in the aircraft. You receive 52 hours of flight time to ensure you not only meet the 40-hour hood requirement but also build the operational cross-country PIC time necessary for true proficiency. Every hour logged here applies directly to your 250-hour Commercial requirement.
- ✓ 52 Hours Flight Time (100% Bristell)
- ✓ 30 Hours Formal Ground Instruction
- ✓ All FAA Fees: Written Exam & DPE Checkride
The Commercial Certificate (CPL)
The FAA requires 250 total flight hours for a Commercial ticket. Because we front-loaded your Instrument training into the aircraft during Phase 2, this phase only requires a final 155-hour block to bridge the gap from your Instrument Rating to professional licensure.
Track Alpha: Modern Airliner
The high-tech approach. 100% of your 155-hour commercial requirement is executed in the glass-cockpit Bristell NG5.
- ✓ 155 Hours Advanced Flight (100% Bristell)
- ✓ 20 Hours Commercial Ground School
- ✓ FAA Written Exam & DPE Checkride Fees Included
Track Bravo: Hybrid Airmanship
The tactical approach. Utilize the tailwheel BushCat for 135 hours of time-building to develop elite stick-and-rudder skills. You will then transition to the Bristell for your final 20 hours of Checkride prep and execute the DPE exam in the glass-cockpit environment.
- ✓ 135 Hours Tailwheel Time-Building (BushCat)
- ✓ 20 Hours Advanced Dual Checkride Prep (Bristell)
- ✓ 20 Hours Commercial Ground School
- ✓ FAA Written Exam & DPE Checkride Fees Included
The Forge
Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
We manufacture our own workforce. This intensive bootcamp transitions the pilot from the left seat to the right seat. Graduates of this program receive priority hiring consideration for Velocity Squared instructors.
- ✓ 15 Hours Right-Seat Dual (Bristell)
- ✓ Dedicated FAA Spin Recovery Training & Endorsement
- ✓ 40 Hours Advanced "Teach-the-Teacher" Ground
- ✓ All FAA Fees: FOI Written, FIA Written, & Initial DPE Checkride
The Master Instructor
Certified Flight Instructor - Instrument (CFII)
The final credential in the professional pipeline. This add-on rating allows you to instruct and certify Instrument candidates. It drastically increases your marketability and hourly earning potential.
- ✓ 15 Hours Right-Seat Instrument Dual (Bristell)
- ✓ 15 Hours Advanced Instrument Ground Instruction
- ✓ All FAA Fees: FII Written Exam & DPE Checkride
