Pan Am International Flight Academy Mission:
To provide our students the quality training necessary to begin their airline pilot careers FASTER and with a higher degree of assurance - FOR SURE - than possible at any other aviation academy.

PAIFA will train you FASTER
PAIFA features one of the largest fleets of New Piper Aircraft. Having the newest and most reliable training aircraft available enables us to meet our objective of dispatching flights on time, every time. You will not experience the training delays normally associated with flying older aircraft typically used at other academies. By minimizing these delays, you can complete your training sooner and then obtain an airline job FASTER. 

PAIFA will prepare you for success
We created our Career Pilot Program with direct guidance from the airlines. We based our training programs on practical job preparation, rather than just the minimum FAA requirements followed by most traditional flight schools. As a result of this cooperative effort, PAIFA graduates are highly regarded in the industry and have a record of success, demonstrated by our exceptional placement record – FOR SURE.

PAIFA graduates get JOBS!
PAIFA employs a dedicated Pilot Placement Manager whose primary responsibility is to place graduates with the airlines. The relationships we have developed over the years with numerous regional and major airlines offer our graduates many more choices than are available at other schools – FOR SURE.

Programs

Commercial Aircraft Training
Pan Am International Flight Academy (PAIFA) provides simulator-based flight training to commercial airlines and professional pilots. PAIFA provides simulation and pilot training for over 200 commercial airlines world-wide. We serve both major U.S. and international airlines with a fleet of jet simulators representing approximately 70% of the worldwide fleet of commercial jet aircraft. Headquartered at the Miami International Airport., the commercial division works with transport category airlines – those with aircraft having typically 100 seats or more.

PAIFA offers training solutions that fit the requirements of individual airlines. Our goal is to build a training relationship with each customer that ensures a high quality, cost effective, and professional training event. Customized programs designed specifically to meet each operators needs is just one of the services that sets us apart from the typical simulator provider.

The Academy's Commercial Airline Division currently offers training at its centers in Miami, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Memphis. Additional international facilities are planned as part of the Commercial Airline division's continuing expansion.
