While the FAA requires only 40 hours of flight time to earn your Private Pilot Certificate, most students benefit from additional training to feel fully prepared. That’s why our program is designed to include up to 50 hours of flight time within the course price, giving you the flexibility and confidence to complete your training at your own pace without surprise costs. If additional flight hours are needed to ensure you feel fully prepared, those hours can be added at our standard hourly rate.
