Your Finish Line Program Timeline

Step 1: Logbook Audit

Our team will audit your logbook to ensure you’re a good fit. Once we’ve confirmed your eligibility we’ll create a tailored training plan including an estimate of exactly when you’ll finish your certificate or rating.

Step 2: Enroll in Finish Line & ZTA

This program is part of ZTA, just with a unique entry point. Once enrolled, you’ll get full access to the same high-quality training and support as every other ZTA student.

Step 3: Mock Oral with a Chief

You’ll complete a virtual mock oral exam with one of our Chief Pilots to assess any weak areas and get targeted study tips to ensure you’re fully prepared.

Step 4: Start Your Training

When your start date arrives, we’ll focus on getting you in the air immediately. With your ground knowledge locked in, the goal is to complete your rating within the timeline we’ve planned earlier in the process.

Step 5: Checkride Ready

We coordinate with DPEs to ensure you’re exam spot is ready when you complete your training.
