Welcome Coast Flight Training & Management, Inc.
Please join us in welcoming Coast Flight to San Marcos!
Coast Flight Training and Management, Inc. is a San Diego based flight school that specializes in airline pilot training. Coast recently finalized a contract with Envoy Air, a regional carrier for American Airlines, to train US Military helicopter pilots who are transitioning to civilian airline pilots.
The Rotary Transition Program (RTP) will provide complete transition training of helicopter pilots to meet FAA fixed wing requirements, along with a conditional offer of employment with Envoy/American Airlines upon successful completion of training and certification.
Coast will train, at a minimum, approximately 40 pilots at a time for a total of 180 pilots per year. The pilots will live in San Marcos while training for up to 3.5 months.
On December 20, Council approved a special short-term ground lease for a temporary modular facility and reserved tie-down parking. This is to help Coast meet the Envoy contract deadline to begin training operations in January. The goal is negotiate a longer-term agreement to commence after the initial two years.
We anticipate the modular to be set in a couple of weeks near the WWII tower. We are very excited to welcome Coast Flight and look forward to all the activity they will bring to HYI & the San Marcos community
