Addison, TX:
The Thrust Flight Group, a professional flight academy based at Addison Airport, is thrilled to be ranked the number two Flight School by Flying Magazine in their nationwide Guide to flight training programs. This guide includes a ranking of 111 flight schools and colleges with aviation degrees across the US.
Thrust Flight received 36 out of a possible 40 points placing it in the second position among all flight schools and universities with flight training programs ranked. This ranking is based on a number of factors including industry partners, fleet and facilities, and the value students receive from attending.

Looking at Flying Mag’s flight school guide it just comes down to locations and one additional airline partnership. You can see how they determine the rankings here: https://www.flyingmag.com/how-we-ranked-these-flight-schools/
The best way to make your evaluation though is to just come by for a tour. Our admissions team can answer all of your questions and when you’re here you can talk to anyone you’d like. Everyone walking around our facility in a red shirt is a Zero Time to Airline student and would be happy to tell you about their experience in our program. You can also check out this series on YouTube that’s following some of our recent Zero Time to Airline students that will give you a direct look at what the program is like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJvV4UCXIK8&list=PLxcxuUEaGbMDCr3yuawdWQjdW01UJoBEo
My daughter has 1 semester of college left in Denton and will likely enroll in an accelerated “zero to airline pilot” type academy. She’s been looking at ATP but discovered Thrust today and really enjoyed the content she was able to find online (informative and social media). To her, it seemed like Thrust was the better school, but is ranked #2 behind ATP. Why do you think ATP got the better rating? More locations or something.
