Apex trains pilots at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, 57 nautical miles from the Bahamas. Every airplane is a current-generation design, and wet rates start at $170 an hour. Start with a discovery flight, or go from zero to a jet type rating.
Part 141 and Part 61 training. Open daily 0700 to 2100 Eastern.
No referrals to other schools, no gaps between ratings. The aircraft, simulators and instructors for each step are already here.
Every airplane on the ramp is a current-generation design from Diamond, Cirrus, Piper, Pilatus, Beechcraft or Embraer. No 1970s airframes, and no steam gauges in the primary trainers.
We price flying near what it costs to provide it. A DA-40 NG is $190 an hour wet, and every program lists its aircraft and simulator hours before you sign.
Every Cirrus carries the CAPS airframe parachute. The DA-40 NG and DA-42 NG have reinforced composite cockpits, single-lever turbodiesel engines and modern glass panels.
From the Piper Archer TX to the Phenom 100EV, all based at KFXE. No wet leases and no shuttling between airports.
Level 6 and 7 flight training devices for instrument, multi-engine and turbine work. Sim time runs at roughly a quarter of aircraft rates.
Apex Jet Academy type ratings are based at KFXE. Our Jet Track programs prepare you for one, with real flight hours in the airplane.
Each certificate builds on the last. You can stop at any step or keep climbing.

Every Apex campus uses the same instructor standards, the same aircraft standards and the same training philosophy. Fort Lauderdale is the home of the Apex Jet Academy, and Centennial in Colorado is the original campus.
