Staff Qualification
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) is located eight miles northwest of Ft. Lauderdale International Airport , and five miles west of the Atlantic Coastline on Commercial Boulevard . It is strategically located within Florida 's premier commercial corridor (between Miami and West Palm Beach ), and is the fifth busiest general aviation airport in the country. For this reason, Executive provides an excellent learning environment for those seeking a career in aviation. The student is trained to develop the radio and navigational skills needed to maneuver within intensely controlled airspace. This is considered an extremely valuable training element and great preparation for actual commercial conditions. The field is also equipped for instrument approaches (ILS/NDB), and is in close proximity to satellite training facilities that offer a wide variety of instrument approach procedures (ie: Pompano localizer; Palm Beach; VOR/NDB/ILS/Localizer). Furthermore – the expansive, designated practice area to the northwest of the airport is available for intensive student training.

More About Us
When visiting PFT’s new training center customers will enjoy one of the business’ founding principals — treating each customer as if they were a guest in their home. The magnificent new facility places special emphasis on advanced flight training devices such as PFT’s glass cockpit trainer which replicates the traits of the B-737-NG series. “We’ve designed our facility with future needs in mind. Our glass trainer is no longer an ‘add on’ to our Professional Pilot Program,” adds Gary Ross. “It is a must have — it is now incorporated within our syllabus.”
