Epic Flight Academy has launched a six-month fast track pilot program.
Students commit to training seven days a week, dedicating 12 to 14 hours a day to flight training, simulator work, and study, according to officials with the flight school. Students can earn private pilot, instrument, commercial single-engine, and commercial multi-engine ratings in that time frame, they add.
“We’ve had many students bring incredible focus to their training over the years who’ve completed far ahead of the norm,” said Epic Founder and CEO Danny Perna. “So we developed this program with special savings for students with that kind of drive. They must maintain discipline, focus, and consistent time management.”
The program is currently available only at the New Smyrna Beach, Florida, campus. The estimated cost for tuition and non-tuition expenses is approximately $87,000 due to the launch special savings of $5,000.
Epic Flight Academy, founded in 1999, has 11 flight training campuses and two FAA Part 147 aircraft mechanic campuses.

This is pure money- driven nonsense. There’s no seasoning-no opportunity to exercise judgment.
It’s a good thing the automation is getting better because the teaching sure isn’t.
I feel for the kids that commit to this program, and realize the only option available to them is a company willing to hold their hands while bringing them up to speed in the real world of professional flying.
Very intense. Little time to absorb. Train to only pass?
