Our partner school is approved by the FAA to offer training under Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations as well as the part 61. They are also approved by the US Department of Homeland Security to accept foreign students for flight training. They provide all the forms and assistance necessary for international students to receive the M-1 visa and travel to the USA for their training.
They also offer training in Technically Advanced Aircraft & simulators with glass-cockpits. Our US flight school partner will also tailor any of the flight training packages to meet your specific needs, if you have already started flight training in other parts of the world.
Sunrise Flight Academy is located in beautiful Ormond Beach, Florida, and has been in continuous operation since 1983. For over 30-years, Sunrise Flight Academy has trained professional pilots from more than 50 countries with one of the best safety records in the industry.
When choosing a flight school, trust is important. Sunrise Flight Academy is proud to be the exclusive flight training provider for Florida State College at Jacksonville where we offer accredited degree programs in Professional Pilot Technology (A.S.) and Polk State College at Lakeland, Florida. If you want to pursue a bachelor’s degree, credits from your professional pilot training transfer to many four-year aviation colleges and universities including Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Our satellite training facilities are conveniently located at Jacksonville’s historic Cecil Airport and Herlong Recreational Airport, and at Lakeland-Linder Regional Airport in Polk County, Florida, home of the world-famous EAA Sun-n-Fun fly-in.
Sunrise Flight Academy is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration to offer training under Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Because your needs are paramount, we also offer training under the flexibility of Part 61 as well. Our FAA-approved proprietary training syllabus and immersive training environment allows you to finish on time – and within budget – with the advanced knowledge and skills you need for success.
To meet the growing needs of the international airline industry, Sunrise Flight Academy is approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security to accept foreign students under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. In fact, we provide all documents and assistance necessary for international students to receive the M-1 visa, which permits travel to the United States for professional pilot training. Our programs include international students from over 50 countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. We currently have the highest number of students from India but we also have students that hail from Saudi Arabia, China, Panama, Korea, and England.
Accelerated flight training is just a small part of the Sunrise package! Sunrise Flight Academy’s professional pilot programs include everything you need for success, including the medical exam, textbooks, pilot supplies, uniforms, and all written and flight tests. There are no hidden fees or “extras,” and we make all the arrangements in advance. As an authorized CATS Testing Center, Sunrise Flight Academy offers our students the highest quality computer-based licensing and certification testing available in a quiet, familiar and conducive environment under strict security controls. Sunrise Flight Academy fulfills the personal needs of our students as well. We offer all-inclusive training programs that provide comfortable, fully furnished student housing and convenient in-house transportation services, or we’ll help students make those arrangements on their own.
Sunrise Flight Academy India courses and training aircraft both meet the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) requirements. All India pilot training courses including the DGCA required 250 total hours, with over 200 in-aircraft hours. Multi-engine training utilizes the Piper Seneca PA34 aircraft, which is also DGCA approved. (NOTE: Not all flight training academies are able to offer DGCA approved aircraft as Sunrise does).
It is essential to note that Sunrise Flight Academy does not use “shared time” or “safety pilot” time, as some other schools do, to satisfy pilot-in-command (PIC) time. Shared time may reduce costs, it is NOT recognized as PIC time in India, as well as many other countries. And importantly, since shared time also reduces “hands-on” flight time, it diminishes the student pilot’s flight skills.
Additional costs are required to complete the program entirely. See the additional costs* tab for details in the file attached below. Additional aircraft options include glass cockpit training. Ask us about the costs of these additional options today. Prices are subject to change based on fuel rates increasing or other costs beyond our control.
**Additional Fees Apply Per Usage. Professional Pilot Program Students electing to stay in Sunrise housing are required to sign a 6-month lease with an additional $575 security deposit.
Thanks to Sunrise Aviation for seamless training, a perfectly suitable and comfortable environment especially for International students like me from India.
