George Pitman
Why George Chose ATP: A faster training timeline with flights three to four times a week.
Ready to Commit
The Problem
Preparing to pursue aviation full-time.
For George, a fascination with airplanes gradually grew into a goal of becoming a professional pilot.
George’s passion for aviation began when he caught himself looking up at the sky, watching airplanes fly overhead and wishing he were in the flight deck. Over time, that fascination developed into a clear ambition to become a professional pilot.
Before pursuing aviation full-time, George started a company to help fund his flight training, demonstrating the determination, ambition, and work ethic that would later help him succeed as a pilot.
He earned his Private Pilot License at a local flight school in South Dakota while balancing a full-time job. After taking a year to complete his training, George realized it was time to fully commit to aviation. Looking for a faster, more structured path, he began researching accelerated flight training programs.
