CORRECTIONS TO VIDEO:
1. United Aviate now has over 100 Cirrus SR20 Aircraft and 6 Diamond DA42 Multi Engine Aircraft for multi Engine Training
2. The Aviate Academy is not the only 400 hour credit that is applied to the 1600 hour requirement as I misstated in the video. According to the APG 5.B.1A. "Participants who (i) joined Aviate through the University Entry Point, Professional Flight Training Entry Point, Experience-Build Entry Point, Aviation Organization Entry Point, or United Aviate Family Programs Entry Point and (ii) are in compliance with all performance standards set forth in Chapter 4 will receive a 400-flight hour credit towards the minimum flight hours requirement."
3. BIG CHANGE United Aviate now requires applicants to have a commercial pilot certificate to be accepted into the aviate program as a whole. This makes it the most competitive program to become accepted into.
