The road from Commercial to ATP requires hours, and not just any hours. Smart pilots build time with purpose: cross countries, night flights, TAA requirements, instrument proficiency, and real-world experience in well-maintained, avionics-rich aircraft. SkyEagle’s time building program gives you the flexibility, the fleet, and the scheduling to make every hour count.
We don’t offer one aircraft and one option. We offer a fleet, because different pilots have different goals.
Need autopilot for those long cross countries? We have it. Working toward TAA requirements? We have glass cockpit aircraft that qualify. Want extended range tanks to cover serious distances without fuel stops? We have that too. Our aircraft are maintained in-house, loaded with state of the art avionics, and available at multiple price points so you can match the mission to the budget.
Your 1,500 hours aren’t going to build themselves. Let’s get after it.
International pilots who do not currently hold an FAA Pilot Certificate must complete the FAA certificate conversion process before participating in Time Building flights in the United States.
Eligible foreign pilots may apply for a restricted FAA Private Pilot Certificate based on their existing foreign pilot license. Before the FAA certificate can be issued, the pilot must request a Verification of Authenticity of Foreign License and Medical Certification through the FAA. The FAA notes that this verification process may take approximately 45 to 90 days, and pilots should not schedule travel or checkrides until the verification letter has been issued.
For SkyEagle time building, pilots can request their verification letter through the South Florida FSDO / District Office, Miramar, Florida. Once the verification letter is received, SkyEagle can assist with the next step by arranging an appointment with our in-house DPE to issue the restricted FAA Private Pilot Certificate. The South Florida FSDO is located in Miramar, FL.
To better understand the process before arrival, please review our guide for foreign pilots and watch the video prepared by our CEO, which explains the conversion steps and important requirements.
