A full-time professional pilot program built for future airline pilots, with Part 61 and 141 training, affordable housing options, six FAA written tests, DPE access, and training through CFI/CFII.
M2A's Professional Pilot Track is a full-time path for students who want to move from zero experience to commercial pilot and flight instructor privileges with a defined sequence.
This track is built for future professional pilots, not hobbyists. It combines Part 61 and 141 structure, senior instruction, modern aircraft, affordable housing options, written test planning, and checkride access into one career-focused training path.
The program is structured for completion in 8 months and costs $77,000. That price includes six FAA written tests, and all flight and ground training through CFI/CFII. Affordable on-site housing options are available to help you relocate and focus entirely on training.

This is a meticulous accelerated flight training environment designed to prepare students for professional aviation standards. Progression is performance-based, not automatic.
Students train like aviation is their job. Expect full training days, structured academics, daily preparation, aircraft scheduling, and checkride readiness to be managed as one connected system.
The program provides a structured pathway through multiple certificates and ratings under Part 61 and 141, with the major career-track logistics packaged into one published program cost.
At M2A, a professional pilot is not simply someone who is paid to fly. A professional pilot treats every flight as an opportunity to improve, never accepts 'good enough', and follows procedures consistently.
This mindset is expected from day one and is reinforced throughout the course.
M2A’s instructor team is built around experience and mentorship. Many senior instructors are also active airline pilots. Their role is not only to teach skills, but to shape professional habits and judgment.

Performance matters. Students who excel may be offered additional opportunities, based on competitiveness and demonstrated professionalism.
* These opportunities are not guaranteed and are offered only to those who meet M2A’s competitive standards.
The training sequence is built so each certificate supports the next. The goal is not just to finish quickly; it is to build the habits, judgment, and technical skill expected from a professional pilot.
Students move through private pilot, instrument, commercial, CFI, and CFII training in a full-time progression designed to reduce downtime between phases.
