Here at Tailwinds, we remember what it was like to be a student pilot. We built this company to be everything our student experiences were not; transparent, direct, and efficient. Our goal is to make your experience earning your certificates smooth, safe, and fun. No B.S., no fine print, just growth. All of our programs are designed to get you your certificate/rating in a few short weeks! Bear in mind, if it was easy anyone would do it. You’ll have to devote time and attention to your dream to make it a reality. This is why we offer an instructor devoted solely to you during your stay and can even take care of everything when you get here; hotel, rental car, instruction, and your estimated aircraft rental time are all included. This way you can show up day one and focus your efforts on what you came here for: a pilot certificate!

We use the latest technology and resources to help accelerate your training, allowing you to learn faster, retain what you learn, and safely reach your goals.

Of course! While we specialize in accelerated flight training and highly recommend flying as often as you are able (keeping your mind and skills sharp) we do offer traditional flight training. We’re here to help you work towards your aviation goals in any way we can!

Yes! TAA has partnered with Affirm to offer payment plans to help you get your certificates faster and within your budget. Also, if you are an AOPA member, you may be eligible for a flight training loan of up $20,000 to help fund your aviation dreams! Not an AOPA member yet? Sign up now for as little as $89!

Our team has vast experience in many different aircraft. If your plane is airworthy and reliable, we can work with you in your own plane. And yes, this does lower the total cost of the program.
