Pilot track

  • Years 1 to 3 : Learn online with video content taught by instructors of America’s M.I. Air (Korean subtitles provided). Also, for 10 weeks each semester, M.I. Air instructors will mentor air communication control English on Zoom, and any student can participate for free.
  • Year 4 : Aircraft flying practice is conducted at M.I. Air in LA, USA. All trainees are awarded a scholarship of $8,000 (about W10 million). In addition, M.I. Air will guide trainees on visas, accommodation, and local living. After training, one can obtain a U.S. pilot's license and establish a career with domestic and international airlines, including the United States.

    ※ Founded in 1997, the M.I. AIR Flight School is located within Chino Airport, about 45 minutes away from Los Angeles, and is an accredited educational institution that issues its own I-20s with U.S. FAA 141 & 61 course permits and federal immigration SEVIS permits. M.I. AIR was selected as the best flight school in the western United States for the years of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, recognized for excellence in pilot education. (The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Award for Best Flight School)

    M.I. AIR uses the latest Cessna 172sp plane model for training and it is also equipped with a G1000 instrument plane, which makes it more competitive than other flight schools. For training to run smoothly, multi-engine airplanes and unique aviation maintenance facilities are continuously being adopted, allowing for safe flight training. M.I. AIR provides one-on-one instructor to trainee tailored training, and Korean instructors are also provided for the training of Korean students. Unlike Korea, the airfield where M.I. AIR is located has the best advantage of intensive training in a short period of time as it is suitable for flying all year round.
