Professional Pilot Training is an Investment in your future
At PFA, you can go from zero flight experience to flying professionally and earning a competitive starting salary in less than three years. While the cost of becoming a commercial pilot may seem significant, flight training can ultimately be more affordable and rewarding than many other post-secondary education options.

Fund your training journey with Wurthy
We understand that funding professional flight training can be challenging, but Wurthy can help you achieve your goals. Financing through Wurthy gives you the flexibility to split your training costs into monthly payments, with terms of up to 5 years. Students enrolled in PFA’s Professional Pilot Program who need tuition or financial assistance now have access to an innovative financing option through this program, including access to full financing options to cover your entire flight training journey.

With Wurthy, you benefit from:
- Flexible payment plans that can span up to 5 years.
- Full financing for your training, from Zero to Hero!
- Affordable payment options, including deferment while you complete your training and begin your career.
- The ability to pay off your loan anytime, with no penalties or consequences.
- A student-centered approach, as Wurthy evaluates more than just credit scores to set you up for success.

Who is eligible?
To qualify, applicants must: Be at least 18 years of age, be a U.S. Permanent Resident or citizen, and undergo a soft credit check.

Deferred Payment Plans
Once approved, a modified payment plan can be set up. The monthly payment can be adjusted down to a manageable amount during training with the remainder divided evenly over time. The best part? No extra interest on the deferred portion!

Co-Borrower Recommended but Not Required
Wurthy’s AI algorithm evaluates each applicant based on their connected financial sources. While a co-borrower is not mandatory, having one can significantly improve your chances of approval.

Finance the whole program
With Wurthy, you can finance the ENTIRE COURSE, from zero hours to commercially rated professional!

Manageable term length
A short, 5-year term reduces your interest burden and ensures your loan won’t balloon over time. You’ll know exactly what the loan will cost upfront. You will also have the ability to pay your loan off any time you want with no consequences or penalties whatsoever.

Guaranteed Flight Instructor Position
Upon earning their CFI certificate, graduates of our Professional Pilot Program are guaranteed an instructor position. Instructors earn competitive wages while gaining valuable flight experience, which can be applied toward a professional pilot career. Many of our instructors log over 80 flight hours per month.

Why Invest in a Student Loan for Flight Training?
Pilot salaries and benefits have steadily increased, making the financial return on investment one of the best in the aviation industry. We encourage you to compare the cost of training and loan interest to the long-term earning potential of a professional pilot career.
