What is the difference between the integrated and modular pathways for the Ab Initio Pilot Training Program?

Embarking on a career as a commercial pilot can be overwhelming, and choosing the right training pathway is key. FlyIAA’s Ab Initio Pilot Training Program offers two options: the Integrated Pathway, a continuous full‑time program ideal for those seeking structure and speed, and the Modular Pathway, a flexible, step‑by‑step approach suited for balancing training with other commitments. Both routes begin with Fundamentals of Aviation and lead to full commercial pilot certification, ensuring cadets are guided from their first lesson to the cockpit of a commercial aircraft.
