TransPac offers 12-18 month programs to everyone from beginners and high school graduates to experienced CFIs and veteran servicemen and women who have recently separated from the military. TransPac Aviation Academy’s Career Pilot Program for veterans is approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
