Eligibility for Training

Review our eligibility requirements

AERO Missions is solely a missionary pilot flight training ministry, working specifically with individuals who believe God has called them to carry out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) using the tool of aviation.  If you are interested in pursuing a career in aviation (i.e. airline pilot, corporate pilot, etc.), we recommend that you contact your local flight school, flying club, or nearby university for assistance in getting started with your training.
