Why Youth Groups Choose Aviator.NYC
Real flight training that connects your child's passion to professional aviation
What makes Aviator.NYC unique?
Bridge Sim Knowledge to Reality
Your child already understands concepts like ILS approaches and autopilot systems. We show them how that knowledge applies to real flight training and certification.
Mentorship from Real Pilots
Our instructors are active airline pilots who grew up with the same passion. They relate to your child's interests and provide guidance on how to turn a hobby into a career.
STEM Learning with Impact
Every session reinforces concepts in physics, math, and problem-solving—real-world application for school subjects in a way that feels exciting, not academic.
How It Works
