Step #1 in pursuite of your Aviation dreams!
The Private Pilot license requires an FAA minimum of 40 hours of flight training time to obtain. However, the national average to be at the skill level thee FAA requires to pass the practical test, the "Checkride", is closer to 65 hours. Training for all of our pilot certificates is done one-on-one and always with a Certificated Flight Instructor. We cater our training to your schedule specifically, however we recommend training 2-3 times per week to be most effective. At this pace, you can achieve your Private Pilot license in less than 6 months. Each lesson averages about two hours from start to finish, or as needed for a particular lesson. The total cost for the Private Pilot license is variable for each student, dependent on aircraft used, and personal capabilities. This estimate for the Private Pilot license gives a good "ball-park" idea of the cost breakdown, using the Cessna 172SP.

This estimate is based on 65 flight hours in the Cessna 172SP, before your checkride. The total cost for the Private Pilot license, will vary based on how much actual flight time you require to be at the proficiency/skill level to pass the FAA checkride. The 65 hours is just the national average for flight students to be at that skill level. Each student learns at a different pace, so your individual amount of flight training may well be less!
