Private Pilot License

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a private pilot? Have you always thought that becoming a pilot is just too expensive or required too much of your time? Those are no longer true. We can help you obtain your Private Pilot License in an efficient amount of time at very competitive prices.

Why do you need a private pilot license? A private pilot license is needed to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying passengers. The private pilot license provides you more flexibility and freedom than the recreational pilot license. Obtaining a private pilot license will take roughly two months of time when training at a continuous pace. A private pilot license will cost between $3,000 - $5,000 depending on the length of the training time.

The requirements for the private pilot license are a minimum of 40 hours of flight time, 20 hours of flight instruction, and ten hours of solo flight. These are minimums as required by law. On average, a private pilot applicant will have between 50 - 60 hours of flight time before taking the checkride.

Below is a detailed list of the requirements for the Private Pilot License:

  • 17 years of age and be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language.
  • 40 hours of flight time
  • 20 hours of flight training
  • 10 hours of solo training
  • 5 hours of solo cross-country
  • 3 hours of cross-country training

  • 3 hours of flight by reference to the instruments
  • 3 hours of flight training in preparation for the flight test within 60 days prior to the checkride
