Your American Airman Private Pilot Flight Training
Syllabus provides you with important guidance and information about your flight
training program. It is designed to meet, or exceed, the legal requirements
of 14 CFR Part 61; and it is designed to allow students to acquire the proficiency
and experience needed to meet the certification requirements for attaining
a U.S. FAA Private Pilot Certificate.
Before you Get Started
FAA Requirements:
- You must be at least 16 years old to solo and 17 years old to become a Private
Pilot.
- You must have at least a 3rd Class Medical prior to your first solo. This
is very easy to obtain and should be done early in your flight training - before
you make a substantial investment. Please ask us for help in finding a convenient
location to obtain your medical.
- You must have a strong command of the English language
Other Suggestions:
You should buy at least a basic book package so that you can begin studying.
You should have sufficient time to allow for two flight lessons per week.

Pricing Information
The cost of flight training will vary greatly from person to person depending
upon availability for training, study habits, motor skills, and weather conditions.
Because of these variables, the following estimates are not guaranteed. We
believe they are reasonable estimates for a person possessing average intelligence
& motor skills, who is beginning flight training in the Northeast with
ZERO previous experience.
It is also important to keep in mind that these estimates are NOT based on
FAA minimums, and the actual cost to you may be less. We feel it is better
to provide a more realistic price than a "best case scenario" which
could lead to frustration later. We encourage you to ask us any and all questions
you may have.
Private Pilot Course
The current national average to earn a Private Pilot Certificate is 55-65 hours
of flight time. The average in the Northeast (due primarily to weather), is
closer to 70 hours. The FAA minimum requires 40 hours of flight time.
The average person will probably require 35-40 lessons, and it usually costs
$180-$220 per lesson (depending on length and subject of lesson). Assuming
40 lessons at $200 per lesson, a reasonable estimate to earn a private pilot
certificate is $8,000. Other costs such as books, equipment, and exam fees
will cost an additional $500-$800. In an effort to help minimize these costs,
our carefully designed training syllabus uses only FAA publications, which
are not only the definitive word on the subject, they are also the least expensive.
Private Pilot Test Prep Course
Our highly structured courses and small class sizes will have you ready for
your FAA Knowledge test as efficiently as possible. The time and money you
save through our test prep courses can now be spent on other parts of your
training - like flying! All of our classes are taught by FAA certified instructors
who will ensure you are ready to take your written exam. Request
