Become a
private pilot
Earning your private pilot certificate is an admirable achievement and a lifelong skill. Your license is an investment and accomplishment that you should be immensely proud of and we want to help you achieve that goal. The Private Pilot license is the most basic pilot certificate that allows you to fly most single-engine aircraft day or night under fair weather conditions. The license requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight training as well as a ground training portion. The private pilot certificate is also the jumping-off point to adding an instrument and/or commercial rating!
