FLYING FOR YOURSELF
PRIVATE PILOT - The Private Pilot Certificate is the base license new pilots 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 talented 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. Our Private Pilot Program uses the Cessna "Cleared for Takeoff" training syllabus to ensure that both instructor and student are prepared and have the same expectations for each flight or ground lesson. The Cessna "Cleared for Takeoff" private pilot kit contains everything you need to begin your flight training. It uses a combination of textbook and computer based training that tracks your progress and updates our master computer automatically over the internet or via disk if preferred. This method of tracking our students progress has proved to be highly effective and beneficial to both the student and instructor. It also replaces the need for our students to attend a formal ground school which typically cost $500.00 dollars or more. Our goal is to make flight training more affordable than our competition. That is another reason we use this program. You save money over attending a formal classroom ground school, the kit includes all the training material required for your Private Pilots License, and on top of that we have reduced the price of the Private Pilot kit. The use of a defined syllabus is not required by the Federal Aviation Administrations, but we have found that students benefit from its use and statistically complete flight training in 30% less time. If you would like to know more about this flight training syllabus or would like to schedule a demonstration please contact our office at 856-740-0333 or Email us.

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 $49.00 by taking one of our Intro Flights. Below is an estimate of the costs associated with earning Private Pilot Certificate. Private Pilot Program 40 Hours of Cessna 152 Flight Time $2240.00 20Hours of Flight Instruction $660.00 10 Hours of Ground Instruction $330.00 Private Pilot Estimate: Only $3230.00 Flight and instruction estimates are based on the FAA flight and instruction requirement for Private Pilot Certification. 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 can not 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. The On Top PCATD meets the FAA requirements for a loggable training device, as outlined in Advisory Circular 61-126. Up to 10 hours can be logged towards the instrument rating, plus an unlimited amount of ground training hours. Like our Private Pilot Program, our Instrument Rating Program uses the Cessna Integrate Flight Training system. The Cessna "Cleared for Approach" flight training syllabus is designed around the Cessna 172 flight training aircraft. The Philadelphia Flight Academy has a fleet of 5 Cessna 172s including a brand new 2005 Cessna 172SP. Because this flight training syllabus is designed around the actual aircraft we operate, what the student pilot watches in the Computer based training, and reads is the Instrument training text applies directly and accurately to the actual aircraft our students fly. This training program also eliminates the need for a formal ground school. You can start training today by ordering your syllabus online. If you would like to know more about this flight training syllabus or would like to schedule a demonstration please contact our office at 856-740-0333 or Email us.

FLYING FOR YOUR COUNTRY

INITIAL FLIGHT TRAINING - IFT (Introductory Flight Training) introduces qualified Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) candidates to the basics of aviation. SUPT candidates who do not have a Private Pilot Certificate (PPC) or higher are exposed to the fundamentals of aviation during their 50 hours of civilian flight instruction in a program that leads to a PPC. For SUPT candidates who already hold a PPC (or higher), a five-hour "top-off" program is required if more than two years has elapsed between your last check-ride or flight review and your SUPT start date. During these five hours you must receive a flight review in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation Part 61.56. Course completion requirements for the 50-hour program are simple. The student must fly a total of 50 hours, no more/no less. The student must solo at least once prior to attaining 25 hours. The student must successfully complete all requirements and receive a Private Pilot Certificate prior to attaining the 50 hours. Any student that flies more than 50 hours prior to receiving an HQ AETC waiver to do so will be financially responsible for those hours and may lose their SUPT assignment. Civilian flying schools at more than 180 locations throughout the United States have been given contracts to conduct IFT for commissioned officers scheduled to enter SUPT
