Private Pilot Certificate

Picture the absolute freedom of soaring over landscapes, looking down at roads and rivers winding beneath you. As a Private Pilot, you’re not just traveling but exploring at your leisure.

A Private Pilot License (PPL) is the first essential credential for individuals seeking an aviation career and those who enjoy the thrill of recreational flight.

Imagine the incredible sense of accomplishment. Every flight is a testament to your skills, discipline, and dedication. Becoming a Private Pilot is more than earning a license; it’s a ticket to a different perspective on life itself.

Begin Your Private Pilot Journey

Private Pilot training requires 40 hours of flight time, typically completed in a Cherokee 140, C-150, or C-172. All training meets FAA standards and student proficiency. If you start at zero hours and fly four to five days a week, the training takes about four to six weeks to complete. Of course, the weather, time, and proficiency factor into your completion timeline.

As a private pilot, you are approved to fly when the weather is clear or under visual flight rules (VFR). Why not open your window of flight by earning your Instrument Rating? An Instrument Rating would be your next step.

This added training gives you the skills to fly in low visibility conditions or under instrument flight rules (IFR).
