Montalte states the decision to add additional Instructors was reached in view of the fact that the Company has far exceeded its corporate and financial goals since the announcement of its Guarantee. The introduction to Guarantee all AFIT’s services came 20 months ago when the company realized the huge potential for gaining market share in the Accelerated Aviation Training industry by guaranteeing it’s Accelerated Flight & Instrument Training services and continuing their complete and innovative "Turn Key Training Courses."

"More than 90 percent of our clients in 2004 rated their training experience with AFIT very good, or excellent. In comparison to any previous training they have had. In 2004 over 60 percent of our overall business came from repeat or referral business. We continue to make headway by taking the positive and steady route, taking advantage of the fact we offer a variety of Accelerated Flight Training solutions which are particularly reassuring to our clients. These are exactly the kinds of messages our clients are looking for in order to respond and eliminate any apprehensions they may have towards accelerated courses.

Our success is largely due to the quality of our Instrument Flight Instructors, says Montalte. The average age of an Instructor is 55. Instructors average 8,000 to 20,000 hours logged flight time and 2,000 to 8,000 hours of logged instrument time.

All our training is important to for the clients and all clients receive undivided attention.
