Do you have any questions?
These are the most recent questions
I live outside the U.S. — where do I train?
You train in Miami, Florida. Alpha Aviation advises international students — especially those coming from Latin America — with bilingual admissions in Spanish and English, and orients you on the steps before arrival. Flight training is delivered by Alpha Flight Academy under FAA Part 61 in the Miami area at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), with a satellite base at North Perry (KHWO). We help you get from your country to Miami.
Where is the flight training based?
Flight training is in the Miami area of Florida. The main base is Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), with a satellite at North Perry Airport (KHWO). Students train under FAA Part 61 standards, with bilingual admissions support in English and Spanish.
What is the difference between Alpha Aviation Group and Alpha Flight Academy?
Alpha Aviation Group is the advisory consultancy: it mentors international students, especially from Latin America, runs bilingual admissions, and accompanies the career path toward U.S. airlines in Miami, Florida. Practical flight training is delivered by its sister company, Alpha Flight Academy, an FAA Part 61 flight school at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) in the Miami metro, with a satellite base at North Perry (KHWO).
What prerequisites are necessary?
Typical entry points include being of legal age and completing a bilingual admissions process in English and Spanish. Before flying solo, students obtain an FAA medical certificate. Aviation English is built during the program, not required as a finished skill on day one. The team orients you on the steps before arrival. Immigration steps are confirmed case by case with the relevant institution and specialized counsel.
How is the course financed?
The published starting figure for the program is $60,000. The amount depends on your prior training and experience, so it is not one fixed price for every student. Admissions reviews your background and explains the cost of your path before you enroll. Write to admissions if you need a breakdown for your situation.
What language support is offered?
Admissions and support are bilingual in English and Spanish for international students, with a focus on Latin America. Training and air-traffic communication are in English, and aviation English is part of the program so you can build that skill as you train. We also support other languages, including Urdu and Korean.
What is the estimated duration of the course?
Duration is not a fixed calendar. It depends on your pace, aircraft and instructor availability, and Florida weather, so Alpha builds a training plan with admissions rather than promising a set number of months. The program can include the private license (PPL), commercial license (CPL), instrument and multi-engine ratings, and flight instructor certificates. After that path, some students may continue with academic specialization if that option fits their itinerary.
