  • What is needed to start training?

    To pursue training, you must be at least 16 years old, be able to read and write the English language, and hold at least a third class medical (we can help guide you on where to get this if you need it!)

  • I am ___ tall, will I fit okay in the plane?

    If you are between 5'-6'3" you shouldn't have any problems fitting in our planes and seeing over the instrument panel. Some smaller pilots choose to bring a seat cushion (either to sit higher or more forward) to achieve an ideal sight-picture/view/reach.

  • How long does it take to complete the Private Pilot Certicate?

    According to AOPA, most students will earn their license in 60-80 hours. We strive to beat this, but it largely depends on motivation and how much time you can dedicate to studying.

  • Can I bring a friend/family member/passenger flying?

    Absolutely; talk to your instructor ahead of time to make sure the weight and balance is within limits.

  • Is ground school required?

    The short answer is no. How much ground school you schedule is entirely up to you - some people learn better one-on-one with an instructor, others prefer self-study. Our instructors are well-equipped to teach you starting with the basics, and/or just answer questions you bring from independent study.

  • I already have my private, what should my next step be?

    Whether you follow private with instrument or commercial training depends on your specific circumstances; let us help you build the best program for you. We'll review your logbook and discuss your goals to build an effective, efficient training outline.

  • How much does training cost?

    We have outlined approximate training costs on our Services page. Please contact us with any questions on financing, program customization, etc.
