A Window to the World

Being a commercial pilot is like having a front-row seat to the world. You get to visit different countries, cities and cultures as part of your day job. You’re always on the go, which keeps things fresh and exciting. The view from your office window? Unmatched.

Unlike a Private Pilot, a commercial pilot license allows pilots to fly for compensation for agricultural companies, major airlines, regional carriers, cargo carriers, or charter and business jet owners. Riggin Flight Service is the one to get you there!

With a predicted shortage of 8,000 pilots by 2025, commercial pilots are in high demand.  That demand translates into job stability with good pay and benefits.

“When students graduate, they’ll drop us an email saying, I’m a Captain for American [Airlines] or I just got hired as an Officer at Envoy [Air] or I’m flying [medical evacuation] planes. It’s always fun to see where they end up.” – Morris Riggin, Owner, Riggin Flight Service

Complex Endorsement

Learn. Achieve. Grow.

A Complex Endorsement prepares you to fly a complex or technically advanced aircraft (TAA) to demonstrate proficiency operating retractable landing gear, controllable pitch propeller, and flaps common on many commercial jets. The extra training requires about 10 hours spent flying.
