14DAYPILOT Flight Academy - Flight School
14DAYPILOT Flight Academy, based at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) in Los Angeles, CA, offers a distinctive, high-intensity training model designed to earn FAA pilot certifications in days instead of months. Founded in 2016, the academy specializes in accelerated flight training under Part 61 regulations, delivering rapid, immersive programs for private, instrument, commercial, and multi-engine pilot certificates. Their flagship “14 Day Private Pilot” program gives students the opportunity to earn their private license in just two weeks, flying up to 6 hours per day with a dedicated airplane and senior Gold Seal CFIs. Enrollment begins with a personalized interview to tailor the training schedule, ensuring flexibility for busy professionals. Students can also access preparatory ground school through the institute’s proprietary Pass Oral Exam System (POES), offered virtually via online platforms or at partner locations in Indonesia. This system has demonstrated effectiveness, with an average exam pass rate around 95%. The training schedule is aggressive: students typically solo within six days, meet their Designated Pilot Examiner around Day 12, and complete check rides by Day 14. Dedicated aircraft and flight instructors ensure intensive pilot development without downtime between students. The fleet at Van Nuys is regularly maintained, with all aircraft serviced to high safety standards to support such a fast-paced curriculum. Programs extend beyond the private level. The academy’s 10‑Day Instrument Rating course, 5‑Day Commercial Pilot program, and 5‑Day Multi‑Engine add-on follow similarly compressed timelines, designed by gold-standard CFIs and backed by POES prep classes. For aspiring airline pilots, the Airline Pilot Integrated Training (APIT) program spans approximately 115 days, combining Private, Instrument, Commercial, Multi‑Engine ratings, along with Boeing 737NG or Airbus A320 type familiarization—totaling up to 265 flight hours to meet global standards. Because Van Nuys is the world’s busiest general aviation airport, students benefit from exposure to Class B and C airspaces, complex ATC operations, and diverse flight environments. The academy includes lounge amenities, crew car access, and housing arrangements within 15 minutes of the field to enhance focus and convenience. - **Skyfarer Academy is a platform that connects pilots with individual flight instructors and training schools.
