PilotRules Flight Academy — 52-Week Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT)
Rev. 2026-07
This is the civilian Part 141 accelerated pathway organized like USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training. Phase structure, 12-hour duty days, flight-room discipline, and track select mirror AETC; certificates and hours follow FAA rules. Weather, proficiency repeats, and stage-check failures may shift a cadet into a remediation week.
