destination 225 cadet program - private pilots license + admissions

[joshua_langman]

Hi all,

I am interested in enrolling in the destination 225 program after I graduate from college this May, and I have two questions:

1.) If you already have a private pilots license from a part 61 school will this disqualify you from the cadet program?

2.) How do admissions work for the cadet program, are they rolling admissions or are the class start dates set?

thank you and I appreciate the information

Hi Josha,

I am currently in the cadet program and finishing up my commercial phase.

To answer your questions:

1. They will not disqualify you if you already hold a PPL, however, you will still need to go through the PPL training. You will not need to do a PPL check-ride though. Several people come into the program with their PPL, and once they finish with the PPL training they move on to instrument training.

2. They have class start dates, as for 2022, they have 10 classes, each starting within a month or two and is dependent on the class size. The class size usually caps at 16 people. 

Hope that answers your question!
