2FLY Airborne, headquartered at Merritt Island Airport (KCOI) just outside of Cape Canaveral, Florida, is a boutique career pilot academy combining FAA‑ and EASA‑approved training under one roof. Founded in 1994, the school has grown into one of the largest independent flight training providers in the United States, with a management team whose combined experience exceeds 50,000 flight hours . Thanks to Florida’s more than 300 annual flying days, favorable weather and clear skies help students complete ratings rapidly while accruing high‑quality flight time. Every FAA course at 2FLY follows structured syllabi under both Part 61 and Part 141 regulations, guiding students from Private Pilot through Commercial, Instrument, Multi‑Engine, and Certified Flight Instructor certificates . For those pursuing a European career path, the academy’s EASA ATPL program (“2FLY Pro Pilot”) partners with training centers in Europe to deliver a seamless ATPL curriculum—all conducted on U.S. soil in Merritt Island before finishing overseas. The fleet at 2FLY is maintained to exacting safety standards. While aircraft types vary by program, students can expect modern trainers and complex single‑ and multi‑engine platforms with full avionics suites. Dedicated maintenance staff keep downtime to a minimum, ensuring that each student has reliable access to the aircraft assigned for their training block. A key differentiator at 2FLY is its personalized cohort model: class sizes are kept small (often under 50 students), allowing instructors and staff to monitor progress closely and tailor support to individual learning styles . Ground school leverages proprietary online tools and in‑person briefings, while flight instruction incorporates scenario‑based training that mirrors real‑world airline procedures and emergency protocols. To bolster career outcomes, 2FLY partners strategically with industry leaders. In January 2024, the academy announced an educational alliance with Purdue Global, allowing graduates to earn up to 45 college credits toward a Bachelor of Science in Professional Flight or Aviation Management—equivalent to a full year of university coursework . More recently, 2FLY joined Avelo Airlines’ Preferred Hiring Pathway, giving qualified instructors and commercial graduates a direct interview pipeline to Boeing 737 First Officer positions once they reach 1,500 flight hours. 2FLY’s administration understands the financial pressures of flight training and offers monthly payment plans rather than lump‑sum tuition demands, making career programs more accessible without sacrificing quality or safety . International students are fully supported through the FAA and TSA visa processes, with advisors guiding applicants from enrollment through initial FAA medical certification and I-20 issuance. Whether you’re an aspiring airline pilot seeking integrated, accelerated training or a career‑minded student eager to build hours as a flight instructor, 2FLY Airborne in Merritt Island delivers a comprehensive, professionally vetted pathway. Their blend of small‑group mentorship, dual FAA​/​EASA credentials, industry partnerships, and flexible financing positions graduates to step confidently into airline cockpits and beyond. - **Do NOT use the inquiry feature on this page, as it sends messages to Skyfarer Academy instead of the flight school.
