TRAINING

GROUND SCHOOL

This course teaches students the information needed to pass the FAA knowledge test. The course is 35 hours of classroom time. Each student enrolled in the course will receive instruction and also tools needed to pass flight school, including a Private Pilot Kit (which has the books/ tools needed to become a pilot).

FLIGHT SCHOOL

Becoming a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) licensed pilot requires a minimum of 35 hours of flight training:
20 hours with an instructor and 15 hours of solo flight.
Most students usually require 40 - 45 hours to become proficient.
Training hours are billed per flight.

INSTRUCTORS

All of our instructors are FAA Certified
