Becoming a missionary pilot takes many years of dedicated work to complete all the training required. This training is a vital part of the process to be able to safely fly in the rugged mountains.

Average is ten years to become a missionary pilot:
1. Commercial pilot (500 hours)
*Because of the ruggedness of the mountain flying in Mexico, a high level of technical competence is required. A missionary pilot needs more than just average piloting skills.
2. Aircraft and Powerplant License
*Because most of our pilots serve in isolated areas, an airframe and powerplant license is also required.
3. Minimum of one year of Bible school
*There are many great options for Bible schools.
4. Join a mission

*For safety and longevity, all pilots and mechanics on the field are required to have a working knowledge of the language. It is important that they can communicate with the locals.
7. Field orientation
*After getting settled on the field, it can take up to 12-months or more to complete on-field-training.

We have been missionaries in Mexico for many years. We've been on some pretty Epic ADVENTURES, and we thought that it was about time to take you along on these adventures. Jasson flies a Cessna 206 into various mountain bush airstrips for medical evacuations or delivering supplies to the missionaries living there. But our ministry includes so much more than just bush flying. Follow along to see all the different adventures we experience.
