You have been preparing for this moment your entire life, for today is the first day that you are Captain on a long haul international flight on a wide body aircraft. Today is the apex, the milestone of your career. You are an international long haul senior airline captain flying for one of the world’s biggest airlines, and at the controls of the world’s most advanced passenger aircraft. It’s everything you ever dreamed it was. Freedom to fly, freedom to play, freedom to control, and it doesn’t hurt to know that you are getting paid about $350,000 per year to “work”, if you can call it that.

You have a great life. Married, children, a beautiful home easily afforded by your prosperous salary, great healthcare and insurance, your parents are taken care of, and your spouse is enjoying her life with you. The ability to spend or save, and the flight benefits that allows you and your family to visit the world at a next to no cost. What a great life, what a great job. Welcome to “flying the line” and your dream job as an airline pilot starts with your training.

While the road to success in the airlines is long and difficult, the rewards are wonderful and the prestige is great. Less than 1% of the world’s population has a pilot’s license. It is a very small club. Earning your wings will give you an advantage over everyone else in the world. You will be one of the few to have the freedom to spread your wings and fly. Your job will take you to great places, and your life will be full of wonderful experiences. BUT, in order to get there, you have a long way to go. A very long way to go.

The dream of flight is not out of reach. Hard work will yield an appropriate license to fly.Proven ability and an airline will trust you to fly one of its massive machines. A successful training path with proven results is the only way safely into the seat of one of the world’s most advanced cockpits. Airlines will hire only the best trained individuals to fill first officer seats. Your training needs to be world-class, proven, and the best in class. That’s why you need to train at Meiya.

Become One of the Best Pilots in China!

Competition for the best job in the sky is going to be fierce. A prestigious education in aviation and aviation culture will make you a well-rounded, educated cultured aviator. Most Chinese students come to the United States and are dumped into one of the many “pilot factories” found throughout the northern hemisphere. These schools don’t train a student the passion and ethos of flight, on the contrary. These students are taught only to operate the controls of an aircraft. They are not taught to become one with the machine. The airplane is an extension of a pilot’s body and mind. It is not just a machine that you control with a yoke and throttle quadrant.

Meiya students earn their wings through becoming part of the world’s aviation society. By becoming part of the spirit of flight, joining the ranks of men and women of all ages that have spent their lifetime in possession of their wings, experiencing the thrills and perils of flight and the rewards that go along with living the dream of aviation. The result of such esteemed training and education is the Meiya Aviator.

What is the Meiya Aviator? The Meiya Aviator is the best pilot graduate in the world. A true aeronaut. A cultured professional capable of flight in most any condition, under most circumstances, hand or auto, with complete command of any flying machine he or she sits down to fly. A Meiya Aviator is the culmination of a world class multinational flight education system harnessing the powers of an interactive flight environment taught by some of the best aviation educators in the world, and supported by a modern educational ecosystem consisting of high end aircraft fleets consisting of prop trainers, turboprop advanced aircraft, and jet powered aircraft. A modern fleet of certificated advanced flight simulators, offering stationary or full motion training prior to any flight training. Modern classrooms offering digital media presentations on flight, flight training, and training under an advanced Part 141 regiment.

The Meiya Aviator will experience the culture of flight. Exposure to aviation events is part of the flight training. Multiple aviation museums will be enjoyed as well as a complete understanding of the history of aviation. Exposure to aeronautics and aerospace technologies complete the Meiya Aviator. Semimonthly weekend aviation adventures and leisure experiences are part of the Meiya experience. Aviators pass all written examinations in their native country prior to entering the USA for their flight training. They obtain the facility of English well before their first communication with an air traffic controller. They are highly trained, highly exposed to all aspects of flight.

Additionally, the Meiya Aviator does not learn to fly in an area where it is sunny 360 days a year. Flight training is conducted in our flight schools located in parts of the world where all aspects of weather are experienced. You will learn about icing, you will fly in high wind environments, you will experience real IFR, you will regularly fly in rain and low visibility. Your training environment will offer you real world weather flying in real busy airspaces. You will train within the area of busy airports, located under a ring of a class B airspace, you will be constantly flying under the command of air traffic control.

Flying right underneath Washington DC’s three major international airports or San Francisco’s three major international airports and about 150 other airports in the immediate area, your flight training will be real world and you will be listening to radio chatter from pilots flying into the US from all over the world. Your experience will be unlike anything you have ever done before and your flight training will offer you experiences that only YOU can experience by learning to fly at Meiya.

Your friends learning at other schools will never really fly in real instrument conditions, will always experience sunny calm days, and will never really get any experience using the radios or listening as they learn in some really busy airspace. You will dominate in both skill of flight, and skill of communication but more importantly, you will dominate in real world experience. No other school can provide this type of training environment. Graduate from our schools and enter the ranks of some of the world’s best non-military trained pilots around. You will be a graduate of Meiya. You will be a Meiya Aviator. We wish to welcome you to our ranks, the ranks of high performance, crew trained, high income, highly trained, expert pilots that will set out to fly the world’s most advanced machines flying. At your controls, at your command, you are the Meiya Aviator.
