Private Pilot Rating

We offer flight training to become a private pilot in as little as 40 hours of flight training (although the national average is 75 hours). This will allow you to fly anywhere in the United States, clear of clouds, and is the first step of becoming a professional pilot! Being a private pilot has many advantages. You can take a loved one, children, friends, or anyone you want to any location. Imagine flying a spouse to Key West for dinner and back in time for the 11 o’clock news. All of this and more is possible with your private pilot certificate.
