What's the class schedule like for the aviation classes?

Ground schools are generally scheduled twice a week, two hours a session and last twelve weeks. The exception is Commercial Ground the first semester in the Primary program - that class is scheduled three times a week. Students taking general education requirements can expect most lecture courses to run the full length of the semester - 15 weeks. Aviation ground schools end earlier so that pilots can use the rest of the semester to complete their flight requirements.


How much should I expect to study for ground schools ?

This varies with the individual - some students learn and retain information better than others. Most of our students however are driven to succeed and tend to be high achievers. As a pilot, there is a tremendous amount of technical knowledge that you will be responsible for. This is going to require you to study.

Will I have to get my instructor certificate to build time to meet the company minimums once I complete training?

No! This is the beauty of the program - once you complete your training (in either the Primary or PACE program), you will go through the application process for the guaranteed interview with Mesa Air Group. For the PRIMARY graduates, this could be with as little as 220 hours total flight time.
