Hillsboro Aero Academy (HAA) is dedicated to providing aspiring pilots with inspiring educational experiences that launch careers in global aviation. For over four decades, thousands of pilots from more than 75 countries have chosen HAA to begin their journey in aviation. Our customers, whether they are individuals pursuing a lifelong dream or global airlines and operators like Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, ADAC, and Bristow seeking highly trained pilots, trust us to deliver exceptional training. We understand the significant investment our students make, which is why we focus on career readiness, ensuring every aspect of our training – from partnerships and curriculum to comprehensive support services – is designed to produce pilots who are prepared for the demands of the industry. Our students face the challenge of navigating a complex and rigorous training path, and we are here to support them every step of the way with personal attention, mentorship, and a commitment to their success.

Our customers benefit from our FAA-approved flight school, which offers training under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 141 and FAR Part 61, providing flexible options to meet diverse career goals. For international students, we are proud to be the only flight school in the US offering joint EASA/FAA training for those on an F-1 visa, opening up global career opportunities. We recognize that financial accessibility is a major concern for many aspiring pilots. HAA is leading the way in making flight training more attainable through various initiatives, including up to 100% loan coverage through partners like Meritize, airline incentives, eligibility for 529 college savings plans, and transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing. Our three Oregon-based campuses in Hillsboro, Troutdale, and Redmond offer diverse flight conditions, providing the invaluable instrument training experience that employers actively seek. The spirit of adventure that draws students from around the world is met with a supportive community and a learning environment that prioritizes safety, consistency, and high standards of instruction, enabling our students to stay on track and achieve their career goals efficiently.
