Personal Training

The cost of your Private Pilot or Instrument certificate is dependent upon your frequency of training and dedication to learning the course study material.  There are many ways to mitigate the total cost of your certificate such as: 

1.  Be prepared for each lesson by completing the home study lessons assigned by your instructor.
2.  Train as often as possible.  This reduces the need for excessive review from you last lesson.  
3.  Utilize our full motion flight simulator when appropriate in the curriculum as well as for supplemental training exercises.

For most people the Private Pilot Course takes from 2 – 8 months.  The more often you are able to train, the faster your will progress.  We have had students accomplish this in as little as 1 month.

There is no age minimum for training, however, you must be 17 years old before you take the Practical Exam better known as your “Check Ride”.

Flying an airplane is not an excessively taxing physical activity.  Persons of modest physical ability and strength are routinely able to serve as pilots.  Individuals seeking a Private Pilot Certificate or higher will need to obtain an FAA medical certificate from a Designated Medical Examiner.  This exam is non-invasive and usually takes about 30 minutes.  Overall health is assessed.  For more information please visit: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/get/
