The L3Harris Flight Academy Professional Pilot Program is ideal for Korean citizens seeking a career as a Professional Pilot. This program allows international cadets to study on the F1 visa, which means, upon graduation, cadets can apply to work as a Flight Instructor in the US and build flight time, gain experience and be paid to fly!
L3Harris is one of the few US Flight Academies trusted by Korean Air to deliver world class pilot training.
Our programs provide cadets with FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) training and licenses, which can be converted to meet KOCA (Korea Office of Civil Aviation) requirements.
The L3Harris Flight Academy Professional Pilot Program was created to provide cadets with the resources and training necessary to become successful Professional Pilots.
The program allows cadets the opportunity to develop their skills in the cockpit, providing them with the experience and 'Pilot In Command' time sought after by many Korean Airlines.
