Basic but critical skills
The basic knowledge you acquire in our private pilot course is essential for flight safety throughout your future in aviation. Whether you plan to fly for fun, give rides to your family and friends, or become a professional pilot, it all begins with the private pilot certificate.
Our FAA-approved private pilot course provides rigorous training through simultaneous online learning, face-to-face ground school training, and in-flight instruction. Ground school and in-flight training curricula are each divided into three stages. At the end of each stage and at the end of the course, we check to make sure your progress toward the FAA practical test known as the “checkride.”
FAA Minimum Requirements
Part 61.109 Aeronautical Experience
| Must have at least 40 hours of flight time, |

Part 141 Appendix B
| Must have at least 35 hours of flight time, |
| Must receive at least 20 hours of flight training from an authorized instructor, and |
