Sunrise Aviation is proud to announce that we are the newest flight school approved for the Trans States Airlines transition program. This program will allow active and retired helicopter pilots with 750 hours to obtain fixed-wing transition training for free. Trans States Airlines will pay up to $38,000 for qualified pilots to transition to airplanes, and these pilots will have guaranteed airline jobs waiting for them at the end of training.
