While the FAA requires a minimum of 40 flight hours to become a Private Pilot, the national average is between 60-70 hours. Our students average well below this national average, around 55 hours from start to finish.
If you are just getting started in your flight training, you will most likely want to start with an introductory flight with one of our instructors. This will give you a chance to figure out if you are indeed interested in pursuing flight training, as well as to make sure our instructors are a good fit for you.
Following your introductory flight, your flight training for a Private Pilot License can be split into three distinct phases: 0 hours to your first solo flight, cross country flights/solo cross country, and practical test prep. There are also ground school and written test requirements, which are covered under the Ground School tab on our website.
