Five training programs, an airline partnership, and a clear path from first flight to career — all in one platform
Pacific Flight Academy runs five certification programs, a first-of-its-kind airline partnership with Horizon Air, and financing options through Wurthy. Their previous site couldn’t communicate this depth — programs were buried, the airline partnership was invisible, and prospective students couldn’t compare training tracks or take the next step without calling. Every unclear click was a lost enrollment.
We rebuilt the site on Next.js with TypeScript and a JSON-driven content architecture (8 data files) that makes every program, fleet aircraft, and partnership page trivially updatable. Framer Motion handles scroll-triggered animations, Ken Burns parallax, and a professional timeline visualization showing the pilot training roadmap from first flight to airline career.

Five program pages (PPL, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, Multi-Engine), fleet showcase (Sling 2 NGT, Cessnas, Baron), partnership pages, student resources, FAQ exams portal, financing, and more — all driven by JSON config files.
Dedicated partnership page showcasing Hawaii’s first flight school to airline pathway — a major differentiator highlighted with a timeline visualization and clear CTAs.
Contact forms with Zod validation, discovery flight booking via FlightSchedulePro, and transactional email delivery through Resend with styled HTML templates.
Framer Motion animation library with AnimateIn, ImageReveal, KenBurnsImage, and ParallaxDivider components — professional easing and reduced-motion support throughout.
