Career Pilot Program

We’re flexible and support flexible training schedules

At Alpha One Flight Training, we understand that not everyone has the luxury of a complete pivot from their current job to pursue a career in aviation, an approximately 3-year commitment. There is still a place for showing others grace and being flexible where appropriate. Unlike many flight schools, Alpha One welcomes part-time and full-time career students. We support our students in determining what is best for themselves.

Alpha One isn’t just offering a career pilot program – we’re delivering the keys to your future. We train you from zero flight hours. We provide you with the knowledge to make an informed decision, including things like the differences in timelines. You are not a number to us – you become a part of our Alpha-One family. We care about you and your family and will celebrate your success.

Alpha One has been a fantastic flight school. I took an intro flight there in July 2022 and continued training with them. I then took my FAA written exam, which they have on site. I have felt welcomed since day one. Everyone is friendly, and Leigh Anne is helpful and possibly the nicest person ever. I can now proudly say I am a Private Pilot!! Next up IFR training! I recommend Alpha One to everyone I talk to. I cannot recommend it enough.

Scott Waggoner

Alpha One was easy to work with while working on my pilot incense. The instructor and aircraft were available and ready when I was scheduled to fly. They had a professional atmosphere and, at the same time, relaxed. I plan to get my IFR with Alpha One when I am ready.

Incredibly friendly staff! It’s the only place I’ll go for FAA exams! If the available appointment time is not listed, just call, and they will put one in for you.

Troy Geddes

Leigh Anne is a FIVE-STAR person. I highly recommend this testing facility and am surprised they have a 4.0 rating. It should be a perfect score!

Toni Colaci

A big shoutout to Leigh Anne and the instructors at Alpha One Air Service! Their dedication has made a world of difference for our son Ruben. The expertise they bring to the table makes this school a five-star recommendation for anyone in aviation education. God bless, and I wish you all a lot of success!

Jim Kennedy

I had Alpha One Air Service to take my 12-year-old twin grandchildren, Seth and Sarah, for a flight out of Concord to Salisbury and had the children change seats at Salisbury. It was a wonderful experience for them, and they still talk about them flying the airplane. Their instructor could not have been more gracious to them, and we hope the twins will want to become pilots. Anyone wanting to fly or learn how to fly, go and see Alpha One Air Service Concord, NC airport.

Excellent experience. Alpha One accommodated my schedule and taught me to my specific needs in a stellar aircraft. Alpha One has my highest recommendation for training and higher flight quals.

Chad Tate

After the recent changes in how the FAA requires exams to be scheduled, I messaged Alpha One and got an almost immediate response to my questions and the process. They even asked for my email to just send me a link. I was more than impressed with the level of personal service.

I’ve been working with Alpha One to achieve my private pilot certification with flying lessons and ground school. Leigh Ann is amazing at helping me through the information needed, scheduling, and general help. Stephanie has been a great resource for ground school, managing to put the technical info into understandable terms so I can retain what I’m learning. The Certified Instructors are excellent. Jeremy has been a lot of fun to work with lately. I’m flying the Diamond DA-40, an incredible aircraft that is kept in fantastic condition at all times. I feel safe and secure, and the experience in the DA is as good as it gets—no doubt this is a first-class operation. I highly recommend it.
