From your first lesson to your first job on the flight deck.
Three core licenses, two FAA training paths, one structured experience from start to checkride.
Skip the checkride wait — examine on our schedule.
Global Aviation Center has an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner on staff. Students train, test, and certify without the multi-month backlog common at other flight schools — a major advantage across Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, and multi-engine ratings.
Take your FAA written tests on-site.
We are an authorized PSI testing center, so you can sit for every pilot knowledge exam — Private, Instrument, Commercial, FOI, CFI, CFII, and more — without leaving the airport. Schedule by appointment and move from written to oral to checkride faster.
Private Pilot License
Your first license. Fly single-engine aircraft for personal travel with passengers.
Instrument Rating
Fly in clouds and lower-visibility conditions, relying on the instruments.
Commercial Pilot License
The license that lets you get paid to fly — the first step toward an aviation career.
Multi-Engine Rating
Add a multi-engine class rating in our Beechcraft Duchess BE-76 — required for most airline and corporate flying.
Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
Turn your commercial certificate into a paying job. Learn to teach from the right seat and build hours toward ATP.
Instrument Instructor (CFII)
Add the instrument instructor rating so you can teach IFR students and log instrument instruction given.
Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI)
Teach in multi-engine aircraft. Combine with your CFI/CFII to instruct across the full training pipeline.
