Flamingo Air?

[scramjet]

Does anyone have experience with Flamingo Air’s partial remote program? What are your thoughts? With Sheffield shutting down, I think this is the only such program left that has an asynchronous distance learning component…

Aircraft Dispatch Academy has remote for 6 weeks then 2 weeks in person

Us aviation academy had it as well. I’d do some more research cus there are plenty of schools with partial remote options lol

Flamingo air also requires you to do a private pilot written on top of the dispatch written. That's why I chose a different route. They are well known in the industry though by hiring managers.

Doesn’t that one require the distance portion to be synchronous though (scheduled live video sessions)?

Yah it does. I figured the others did too no?

From what I understand, Flamingo and Sheffield are self paced until the in person session.

I can’t speak on them. My understanding is that can’t be the case cus they have to log 200 hours

This is correct. For Flamingo, when you sign up you pick the date the in person class starts. Until then you are doing modules at your own pace. I went there back in 2022.

When I attended(2015), it was dependent on any prior aviation experience, if you had experience, then they only required the ADX prior to the in-person portion.

I can confirm this, 200 hrs of online modules, self-paced, before attending the in-person portion.

Very recent graduate. I do recommend the program.

Happy to answer any specific questions.

Jepp did online hybrid too. I know a few people that did it. Haven't checked if they still offer but, just another option
