Questions about our flight school?

Leandro Suruagy Airline Captain

I am glad I chose HAA as my flight school. Their large fleet and infrastructure combined with the mountainous terrain and weather in the PNW definitely gave me the confidence to move forward with my career. As a CFII, I had the opportunity to teach my instrument students in actual IMC, and I was able to fly a total of 1000+ hours in a little over a year.

Leandro completed his professional pilot training at HAA’s airplane flight training school and worked as a CFI to build flight hours for the next step in his career.
