Helping Us Helps You

We are excited to offer our Pilot Rise Referral Program as a way for our community to grow and benefit together. When you refer new students to us, you’re not only helping us grow, you’re also helping us cut advertising costs. We pass those savings right back onto our students—that means you!

How It Works

Step 1: Get Your Referral Coupons

Ask us for Referral Coupons. Write your details on the back of these cards and hand them out to people you meet. When someone comes in with a referral card from you, you’ll be credited for the referral.

Step 2: Get Paid

As the person you referred receives flight training, you get paid. Payouts are done once per month in accordance with the terms below.

Step 3: Share the Earnings

If you choose, you can opt to split the cash rewards with all the individuals you refer through this program.
