Coast Flight Training is a well-established flight academy located at Montgomery‑Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego (KMYF), offering both FAA Part 61 and Part 141 training options tailored for aspiring recreational pilots and career-minded aviators. Notably designated as a Cirrus Platinum Training Center, the school emphasizes career readiness, partnering with regional and major airlines through its specialized academy and cadet programs. The school's philosophy centers on quality over quantity—avoiding the "pilot mill" model by thoroughly vetting student candidates through its Aviation and Career Training (ACT™) screening process before embarking on training. This ensures only well-prepared and committed individuals begin the journey, aligning with airline expectations and industry standards. Coast offers a comprehensive range of programs, including private pilot, instrument, commercial, multi-engine, and flight instructor certifications. Its signature Coast Academy mirrors military-style flight training, denoting a structured and disciplined environment. The school's Cirrus training leverages high-performance aircraft equipped with advanced systems, offering students premium avionics and a modern learning environment. A standout feature is Coast’s American Airlines Cadet Academy, providing an accelerated career pathway and financing options alongside mentorship from airline professionals. Equally significant is their Rotor Transition Program (RTP), designed specifically for military helicopter pilots to transition into fixed-wing aviation with sponsored training, notably via Mesa Airlines. Students frequently highlight Coast’s scheduling flexibility, supportive staff, and well-maintained fleet. One Yelp review noted how an individual “finished my private pilot license in one week” thanks to customized training plans, while another praised the modern facility and excellent instructors. - **Skyfarer Academy is a platform that connects pilots with individual flight instructors and training schools.
