Flight training comprises the practical training and can be done concurrently with ground school. Completion of flight training qualifies the student to take the practical test, leading to issuance of the respective FAA license. Once they have earned a private pilot license, students will have the opportunity to continue taking classes in pursuit of a commercial pilot&#8217;s license.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">To see the schedule and enroll in ground school, visit: <\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" href=\"https:\/\/virginiawestern.augusoft.net\/\">https:\/\/virginiawestern.augusoft.net\/<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"> and search for &#8220;Ground School&#8221; or class ID 820.

Most airline pilots earn $32,000-42,000 in their first year and because advancement potential is so strong, many pilots earn $165,000 in their fifth year. Top pay at major airlines exceeds $350,000 annually.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have the highest demand for airline pilots at any time in the past 60 years,&#8221; said Travis Profit, senior flight instructor at Star Flight Training. &#8220;It&#8217;s easier than ever to get a foot in the door with an airline and advancement is happening quicker than we&#8217;ve ever seen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about 51做厙&#8217;s Workforce Solutions offerings, visit: www.virginiawestern.edu\/workforce.
