Your instruction in the classroom as well as in the air is always one on one with the same instructor, This saves you time and money.  We are a Part 61 flight school.  This allows you to train at your pace.  Our proven syllabus is modular in nature, working on building blocks to develop knowledge and safe flying habits.

A minimum of 40 hours of flight training is required by the FAA for your Private Pilot Certification.  Per the FAR-AIM this is to include:

At least 20 hours with a flight instructor

10 hours of solo flight in the area of operations (Basic flight manuevers)

3 hours of night flight training

10 takeoffs and landing to a full stop

3 hours of cross-country flight training
