Accelerated Flight Training Florida
Fast-track your pilot certificates with our accelerated training programs at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Train up to 12 hours per day in year-round flying weather.
Accelerated Flight Training at My Flight Time
Not everyone has months or years to devote to flight training. Whether you are on a tight timeline, traveling from out of state, or simply want to finish as quickly as possible, My Flight Time's accelerated training programs are designed to get you to your certificate in the shortest time possible without cutting corners on safety or quality.
Located at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE), our accelerated programs leverage three key advantages: year-round VFR weather that keeps you flying every day, a large fleet of company-owned aircraft with in-house 24/7 maintenance to eliminate scheduling delays, and a training schedule that allows up to 12 hours of flying per day, 7 days a week.
The result? Timelines that are 50 to 70 percent faster than traditional flight training programs. Our Private Pilot students finish in 4 to 6 weeks instead of 3 to 6 months. Instrument students finish in 6 to 8 weeks instead of 4 to 6 months. And our Airline Pilot Program students reach 1,500 hours in 10 to 12 months instead of 2 to 4 years.
Why Accelerated Training Works in South Florida
The number one enemy of efficient flight training is weather cancellations. In northern states, students routinely lose 30 to 50 percent of scheduled training days to low ceilings, ice, snow, and short daylight hours. In South Florida, VFR conditions prevail over 300 days per year, and the long daylight hours allow productive training from dawn to dusk.
Our location at KFXE also provides a rich training environment. You fly in Class C and Class B airspace, communicate with busy ATC facilities, and navigate the complex South Florida airspace — all of which builds skills faster than training at a quiet, uncontrolled airport.
Accelerated does not mean rushed. Our instructors tailor each lesson to your progress, ensuring you master each skill before moving to the next. The speed comes from flying every day and eliminating wasted time between lessons — not from skipping important training steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is accelerated flight training safe?
Absolutely. Accelerated training is not about cutting corners — it is about eliminating downtime. You still learn the same skills and meet the same FAA standards. The speed comes from flying every day and maintaining training momentum, which actually improves retention and consistency.
Can I really get my private pilot license in 4-6 weeks?
Yes. Our full-time PPL students regularly complete the program in 4 to 6 weeks by training daily. South Florida's year-round VFR weather and our fleet availability make this timeline achievable for motivated students.
Do you offer accommodations for out-of-state students?
Yes. We offer affordable housing near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport for students traveling to train with us. Contact us for current availability and pricing.
How does Part 61 accelerated training compare to Part 141?
Part 61 training offers more flexibility in scheduling and curriculum, allowing your instructor to tailor the program to your pace. This flexibility often makes Part 61 faster and more cost-effective than rigid Part 141 programs, especially for accelerated training.
