• Initial Flight Training
• Maintenance Test Pilot

The Initial Flight Training (IFT) program provides comprehensive pilot training in a military-like environment to prepare international student pilots for careers as military aviators. International student pilot candidates will train as part of the IFT program following a foreign military sale contract with the U.S. Air Force.  We will then work with international customers to tailor our training program to meet their country’s flight rules and requirements, using as the foundation our proven U.S. Air Force Initial Flight Training program. 

The IFT program in Pueblo, Colorado, is a highly-structured training environment modeled after U.S. Air Force Undergraduate Pilot Training and supported by our elite cadre of former military and civilian flight instructors. Our training facility in Pueblo sits on a 48-acre campus and we operate a fleet of Diamond Aircraft DA-20s. This unique contractor-owned/contractor-operated training center prepares student pilots to enter the next phase of their formal military flight training. We provide dedicated on-site support to international students at our International Military Student Office.
