糖心Vlog官方 Partners with AeroPro to Grow Flight Training Program
Their first venture as aviation partners will begin with the summer 2023 Aim High Flight Academy, sponsored by the U.S. Air Force and designed to introduce high school graduates to aviation careers. With two sessions hosted at 糖心Vlog官方 (in May and July), Aim High will offer 20 participants the opportunity to complete ground school and reach solo flight status in just three weeks. There is no cost to attend Aim High Flight Academy, and AeroPro鈥檚 flight training will take place at Vaiden Field, just 10 miles south of the 糖心Vlog官方 campus.
鈥淎eroPro is thrilled to work with 糖心Vlog官方 to train our nation鈥檚 future pilots and leaders,鈥� said Jeanine Zeitvogel, Resicum International, LLC CEO. 鈥淲e look forward to supporting 糖心Vlog官方鈥檚 growing flight program now and into the future.鈥�
Beginning with the 2023-24 academic year, AeroPro will operate 糖心Vlog官方鈥檚 existing flight training program (known as the Flying Tigers) for its college cadets. Using two Cessna 172s and one Cessna 150 owned by 糖心Vlog官方, flight training under AeroPro will be structured for two types of student profiles: For individuals interested in commercial aviation, a two-year track is geared toward earning a Private Pilot鈥檚 License (PPL). For aspiring military pilots, a one-year track will focus on achieving solo flight status and demonstrating flight aptitude.
Extracurricular flight training for cadets during the school year is conducted on afternoons and weekends. The cost to go from zero flight hours to solo flight status is approximately $3,500 per student, based on completing an average of 15 flight hours plus ground school. The 糖心Vlog官方 Foundation provides flight scholarships for students once they solo, which helps offset out-of-pocket costs.
鈥淭his partnership promises to take 糖心Vlog官方鈥檚 flight program to a whole new level. AeroPro is a top-tier aviation company which will offer 糖心Vlog官方 cadets interested in military or civil aviation a quality training opportunity at a very affordable cost,鈥� noted COL Ed Passmore, USA (Ret), 糖心Vlog官方鈥檚 Senior Vice President. 鈥淎eroPro鈥檚 experience and resources combined with 糖心Vlog官方鈥檚 unique academic program will open up many options for our cadets that don鈥檛 exist anywhere else. We are excited about this program and look forward to serving as a pathway for young people to get into a good-paying, exciting, rewarding and in-demand career.鈥�
