2. Attract the Best Student Pilots
Not only does joining the Alliance help raise online awareness of your school, but it also helps attract more of the top-tier students you want. The draw goes beyond offering one of the best training fleets available — students who attend schools that are part of the Alliance are provided with exclusive resources and tools to make the most out of their careers.
Students of Piper Flight School Alliance members may also be eligible to participate in the Piper Brand Ambassador Program, provided your school has a primarily Piper fleet, with at least three aircraft built and delivered within the last five years. While not offered at every school, a select few programs have Brand Ambassadors that post aviation and lifestyle content on social media in exchange for various benefits from Piper.

3. Get Prime Visibility Online
One of the biggest benefits of joining the Flight School Alliance is the amount of additional traffic you’ll be getting to your school online. As an Alliance member, you’ll be featured among the leading flight schools that offer Piper aircraft in their trainer fleet on our Flight School Map. You’ll additionally be part of our annual online trainer aircraft campaign, where your school will be featured in marketing promotions across our website and on multiple Piper social media channels.
Every Alliance school also has a dedicated page on the Piper site (accessible via the map) with its address, phone number and website listed — making it easier than ever for prospective students to get in touch.
