Training Overview

Once you make the commitment to begin, your flight training filled with rewarding experiences begins immediately. There are no class enrollment dates - all training is conducted individually. Our syllabus and facilities allows you to train at your own pace. Additionally, our Flight Instructors will be there guiding and coaching you through your training to make sure you are meeting your goals of completion.

Ground Training - Ground training is conducted with computer based instruction (CBI). The CBI program allows the client to interact through multi-media labs to gain the necessary knowledge for each flight rating. This state of the art training aid is superior due to one simple fact - knowledge retention. Studies have proven that computer based instruction provides understanding and comprehension of material better than any instructor guided ground school. Ground lesson labs can be conducted at any time convenient for the client with the use of a home PC or in Monarch Air’s computer lab. Clients are able to accelerate through ground lessons - saving time and money.

Flight Training - Flight training is conducted 7 days a week, 365 days per year. Flights for full-time clients are scheduled twice a day and conducted in 2 hour blocks. Additionally, flight training schedules can be tailored for each individual in the event they are unable to commit to full time training. Each flight uses a computer monitored syllabus and lesson plan. This system, accessible by the client and Flight Instructor, permits the client to preview all of the required lesson material before the flight, allowing them to be fully prepared and briefed. This, in turn, produces the most efficient training event for each flight. The system allows clients to save precious time and money in the air by knowing the material before flying.

Flight Training Phase Programs

Professional flight training at Monarch Air is conducted into 2 Phase Programs. Phase I of the Professional Pilot Program navigates pilots-in-training from zero flight experience to a Commercial Pilot Rating. Phase II of the Professional Pilot Program is for clients wanting to obtain the Certified Flight Instructor Rating and Instrument Instructor Rating (CFI & CFII).

Utilizing a regimented training curriculum, clients are able to progress quickly and economically through their flight training.

All applicants that complete the 2 Phase Program will be guaranteed an instructor position with great pay and benefits at Monarch Air.
