Our professional pilot program gives participants the time and resources to earn their Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, and Certified Flight Instructor Certificate. At the completion of this program, you will be offered a job at Aviation Adventures to start working as a CFI.
A licensed commercial pilot may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft for compensation or hire, as well as carry persons or property for compensation or hire. To put another way, holding a commercial pilot license means you are legally allowed to get paid as a pilot. Commercial Pilots can be compensated many ways. Here are a few: Ferry flying: Help relocate aircraft for owners or maintenance shops. Banner towing: Gain hours while building stick-and-rudder skills in challenging conditions. Sightseeing and charity flights: These opportunities help reinforce cockpit professionalism and mission planning. Volunteering for aviation nonprofits: Certain humanitarian or STEM outreach flights allow you to gain experience while giving back. Flight Instruction. One of the most popular next steps after earning a CPL is becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). Many pilots pursue their CFI certificate to build hours, sharpen their skills and gain paid experience — all while helping train the next generation of aviators. CFI roles are especially valuable because they: Provide a steady stream of PIC time, develop your communication and leadership skills, keep you flying regularly in a structured, safety-focused environment. If your long-term goal is the airlines, corporate aviation or charter, working as a CFI is a practical and respected way to reach the required minimums.
Participants should already have their Private Pilot Certificate prior to participating in the program.
We have locations at Winchester, Leesburg, Warrenton, Stafford, and Manassas Viringina.
