What Other Pilots Say About Southern Flight Academy
Kuyung Lee,
B737NG First Officer
I am now flying for FlySafAir as a first officer on the B737.
As I look back at my program with Southern Flight Academy, the captains were not only great co-workers but became friends and also mentors. Throughout this program I learned the definition of professionalism as well as how to carry out the professional responsibilities of a scheduled airline first officer. It also showed me that flying as a professional can enhance the fun of just being a pilot and flying an airplane. I thank all of the captains that I flew with and the professional staff of Southern Flight Academy, who I worked with very closely throughout the duration of my program. I hope that your professional first officer programs have continued success so they can help more pilots like me make their aviation dreams come true!
James Rye
B737CL First Officer
I went all the way from starting in a C-172 with PPL program until flying as a first officer in a B737cl time building program. I can't describe how lucky I was to have found Southern Flight Academy.
Southern Flight Academy supported me not only financially (they broke the program down in payments after the first 100 hours), but also mentally, by strengthening my faith in my dreams and myself. Now I'm a first officer of a Boeing 737 for FlySafAir in South Africa. It wasn't always easy, but if not for Southern Flight Academy, it might have never even happened. Thank you Southern Flight Academy
David Banner,
A320 First Officer
Southern Flight Academy is a wonderful place to build experience in many different aircrafts. It has also given me the chance to network with pilots and management of numerous aviation companies, thus getting a jump start into my career. I came to Southern Flight Academy with only 200 hours. In just a few hundred hours, job opportunities started flowing. After my program was done with Southern Flight Academy, the company I was Line flying for hired me on as a full time pilot. I would not be where I am now if it was not for a program like Southern Flight Academy.
Thank you all,
Jae Hyuk Choi
A320 First Officer
I am writing this letter in order to convey my satisfaction with the training I received through
Southern Flight Academy. The fact that upon completion of my program, I was interviewed and hired by LIFT Air serves as a testimony that it works. I had never held a “professional aviators position” prior to my participating in the training. I entered the A320 First Officer Program with a total of 230 hours.
I selected Southern Flight Academy because of the style of program and the quick pace at which I could get through the training and be ready to interview. Also the fact that Southern Flight Academy would assist in getting interviews was very important.
The quality of the A320 First Officer program, the captains and the instructors at the airline were outstanding. I think any low time pilot serious about advancing their pilot career should seriously consider the Southern Flight Academy's A320 program.
Upon completion of my training I had 700 hours total.
Thank you Southern Flight Academy for your assistance and please feel free to use my experience as a reference for your services.
Frank Ashman
CRJ900 First Officer
As a low time pilot looking for a way to enhance my experience and accelerate my aviation career. From day 1, Southern Flight Academy offered me a great company to work and gain experience with. Southern Flight Academy placed me in the crj900 FO program which increased my flying abilities and awareness, and my confidence in different weather and airport situations.
In all, I cannot say enough about my experience through Southern Flight Academy. Their staff have been like family to me and I know that they are just as concerned with each pilot that is looking to enhance their aviation career through Southern Flight Academy. My aviation career has just had a jump-start. I would recommend this program to every professional pilot who is looking to get to our common goal THE AIRLINES.

ATR72-600 Type Rated Pilot
I just wanted to write you a note to tell you how pleased I am with my experience during my atr72-600 type rating training. From the very first time I talked with Southern Flight Academy on the phone, they've been very encouraging and helpful. I was trying to decide on the next step to take in my flying career, and after talking with Southern Flight Academy team and doing a little thinking on my own, the choice was pretty clear what to do next. They gave me all the information I needed to make a well informed decision. I can honestly say I haven't regretted that decision for one second since. The experience I have had in flying has been awesome!
The people are great to work with and the flight experience I have gained is priceless.
I finished the atr72-600 type rating course in record time and I couldn't be happier with my decision to call Southern Flight Academy
