FLYING FOR YOURSELF
PRIVATE PILOT - The Private Pilot Certificate is the base license students are working towards. This program takes someone who has never flown an aircraft or attended any flight training and prepares them for Federal Aviation Administration certification as a Private Pilot. If you already have some flight training and would like to discuss the possibility of completing your flight training with us, that is no problem. Our skilled instructors will evaluate your current training records and determine the continuation point of your training.
It's easier than you think to earn your Private Pilot Certificate. A typical flight lesson begins with a short preflight briefing where you and your instructor discuss the learning objectives for your lesson. Next, you and your instructor perform a preflight inspection of your aircraft and prepare for your flight. Under your flight instructors guidance you will take the controls and fly the aircraft performing the maneuvers discussed prior to flight. At all times, your instructor will be providing input and assistance to ensure a relaxed and safe training environment.
Flight training is typically a pay-as-you-go and therefore you are not required to pay for all your flight training up front. You can begin for as little as $89.00 by taking one of our Intro Flights. Below are the hourly costs associated with earning a Private Pilot Certificate.

FINANCING IS AVAILBLE FOR ALL CERTIFICATIONS INSTRUMENT RATING - As with our other flight training lessons, our Instrument Rating Program uses a defined flight and ground training syllabus. We also use the latest version of ASA's PCATD IFR Simulator. Flying a simulator in instrument conditions is extremely valuable during instrument training. It allows the instructor to stop the flight and assist the student with IFR Procedures. This stops the development of negative habits and is something that cannot be performed in the air. 10 Hours of flight time can be logged in our PCATD for your Instrument Rating which also saves money of aircraft rental fees.
