Accessible, specialized training from PPL all the way to ATP — a fast-track to the airline cockpit that never trades speed for quality. At CG Flight Academy, every student is personally advised and instructed, one-on-one, from day one.
Imagine leaving your country with a dream and a plan. In 36 months, CG Flight Academy takes you from zero flight experience to a fully certified ATP pilot — with an aviation university degree and real U.S. flight hours.
This is not just a flight course. It is a complete life project: support with your F-1 / M-1 student-visa enrollment from day one, structured training across four Florida campuses, paid instructor experience to build the hours airlines require, and bilingual instructors who have flown the line themselves.

The phase prices shown already include ground school, simulator time, and time-building hours. There are no surprise add-ons — each figure is the all-in price for that stage of training.
Ground school and simulator time are built into every phase — no separate ground fee to add on.
The flight hours you build toward your commercial certificate are part of the program price.
Vero Beach is one of the country’s busiest pilot-training hubs, with several major airline academies based at the local airport. Here is where the Life Project sits against the area market.
Area all-inclusive programs (Private + Instrument + Commercial + Multi-engine + Sim) run roughly $40,000–$90,000 across the Vero Beach / Treasure Coast market. The Life Project covers PPL through ATP — with the type rating, ground school, simulator, and time-building all included — for about $66,200, below the premium academies that bill the type rating on top. Figures are local market estimates; final cost depends on any flight hours flown beyond the included margin.
Everything included · one payment.
Everything included · pay each phase as you begin it.

Complete your flight training — PPL through CFII — within 24 months and earn an $8,000 scholarship, credited toward your time-building hours on the way to the 1,500-hour ATP minimum.
Awarded on completing flight training within the qualifying period and credited toward hour-building — not a cash payment. Applies under any payment plan.
