We enjoy teaching and making learning fun! GATA graduates who are recommended for the FAA Practical Test enjoy a 100% pass rate. This is not because the training is easy. It is not easy by any means. Our graduates excel because they are proficient and prepared to excel! All of our materials are constantly updated to keep the course relevant with latest changes in the aviation industry!
