 *Values Based on Completion in 50 hours*

 

Private Pilot:  The FAA requires 40 hours; however the average pilot completes the license in 60 hours.

 

Course Duration and Cost:

The approximate total will vary upon a students proficiency with flight training and ground school.  No flight school is able to guarantee a student a license, and you must be able to pass an FAA exam.

Due to changing weather conditions and individual student proficiency, we cannot guarantee any of the courses duration.  There are many factors involved during training that can slow down your completion of a course.
