For the student
Why become a pilot
Aviation is one of the few careers where skill is measured in hours, and hours are something you can start building this year.
A profession, not a degree
Airlines hire on licenses, ratings and logged hours. The path is defined, measurable and internationally recognised.
An office with a view
Shift-based work, travel built into the job, and a career that keeps moving between aircraft types and seats.
Global demand
An FAA licence is a recognised base for a career that can continue in the U.S., Europe or Israel — conversion requirements vary and we will map yours honestly.
Start young, build early
Every hour you log in your early twenties compounds. Time in the logbook is the single asset airlines pay for.
An honest comparison
Training in Israel vs. training in the USA
Both paths produce good pilots. They differ in speed, capacity and how quickly you accumulate hours. Here is the comparison as we would give it to our own family.
Total cost
Israel: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL] — request current pricing
USA (GFTS): [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL] — we present a full written breakdown on your call
Timeline to CPL
Israel: Often extended by aircraft and instructor availability
USA (GFTS): [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL] — the school's positioning is a fast, cost-effective path
Aircraft availability
Israel: Limited fleet capacity, long waits between lessons
USA (GFTS): Larger training fleet culture typical of U.S. flight schools — fleet list [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL]
Airspace & weather
Israel: Small, congested and restricted airspace; limited training areas
USA (GFTS): Southwest Florida: high year-round flyable-weather, a busy general-aviation airport with airline-style traffic and approach-control experience
Building flight hours
Israel: Hour-building capacity is a common bottleneck
USA (GFTS): Structured Airline Compatible Roster Program built specifically for hour-building
Living costs & logistics
Israel: You stay home — no relocation
USA (GFTS): Relocation required; the school already offers student accommodations and runs an international-student program

The training partner
Why Global Flight Training Solutions
GFTS describes itself as “a fast and cost-effective path to your flight deck career.” These are the specifics behind that line.
Airline Compatible Roster Program
A structured hour-building program designed to mirror real airline scheduling and procedures — so the habits you form are the ones an airline expects.
A serious training airport
Immokalee, Southwest Florida: a busy general-aviation airport that gives students real traffic exposure and approach-control experience, not empty-circuit practice.
ATPL theory with ASG (Ireland)
Theory training is delivered through the school's partnership with ASG in Ireland.
On-site A&P maintenance
Aircraft maintenance capability and A&P training on site — reviews repeatedly cite professional maintenance and organised, airline-like operations.
Existing international-student track
The school publishes an international-student brochure and already offers student accommodation — you are not their first overseas student.
Programs, hours and fleet

The difference
Why go through us
You can email the school yourself. What you cannot get by email is a Hebrew-speaking team that owns the whole process — before, during and after you land.
Everything in Hebrew
Every conversation, document and question in your language, and in your parents' language.
Application handling
Paperwork, medical, documents and school communication — prepared and checked before submission.
Visa guidance
Student visa route and process: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL] (F-1 / M-1 to be confirmed). We prepare you for the interview and the paperwork.
Housing coordination
Accommodation arranged around the school's student housing, plus practical setup: bank account, phone, transport.
Financing guidance
Payment-plan and financing options: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL]. We help you build a realistic total-cost picture, not an optimistic one.
Parents stay in the loop
Scheduled updates in Hebrew to the family throughout training — not only when something goes wrong.
On-the-ground support
A contact who answers after you arrive: first weeks, problems with the school, personal issues, anything.

What happens after CFI — U.S. hour-building, licence conversion and return options, mapped to your situation.

For parents
The questions parents actually ask
This is a six-figure, multi-year family decision. You should be able to interrogate it properly — here is where we start.
Safety
Training happens in a maintained fleet with on-site A&P capability, under FAA regulation and a school whose reviews consistently mention professional maintenance and organised operations. We will walk you through the school's safety record and procedures directly.
Total cost & what it buys
Full program cost, what is included, and what is not: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL]. We give you the numbers in writing before any commitment, plus realistic living costs.
Financing
Payment plans and financing routes: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL]. We explain the structure and the risks; we do not lend money and we do not take commission from lenders.
Housing & daily life
The school offers student accommodation; we coordinate housing, transport and the practical setup in the first weeks.
Visa & legal status
Visa type and process: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL]. We prepare the file and the interview and explain exactly what status your child holds while training.
Staying in touch
Scheduled progress updates in Hebrew, plus a named contact you can call — in Israeli hours.
Return on investment
We show the realistic career timeline and pay progression, and we will not promise an airline job. Any hiring partnerships: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL].
What if it doesn't work out
Withdrawal, refunds and pausing training: [TO CONFIRM WITH SCHOOL]. We insist this is answered in writing before enrollment.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Student questions
Most of our candidates come after service, but not all. We work with students still in school who want to plan ahead, and with people arriving later. Timing changes the plan, not the possibility.
Parent questions
No. We are an independent advisory agency. That is deliberate: we can tell you when something is not right, and we are the ones who answer in Hebrew when you call.
Trust
Credibility signals
The school holds multiple 5-star reviews citing professional maintenance and organised, airline-like operations. Our own student and family testimonials are being collected and will appear here as they are verified.
