How much does it cost to get a Private Pilot Certificate?

This is an important question, and because every client’s situation and goals are unique, it’s not one we can accurately answer without learning more about you.

If you’re serious about learning to fly, we strongly encourage you to call us to discuss our rates. This allows us to better understand your personal goals and help you create a realistic budget tailored to your needs.

We are a small operation and take pride in providing personalized attention to every client. If you call and we’re unable to answer, please leave a message and we’ll return your call promptly.

Factors that will influence the length of your training and your overall costs:
...
Among the most important:
 
...
how often you fly
 
...
how much you study
 
...
the time you spend preparing for each lesson
 
...
personal skill level
   
.
We will tailor your training program to your personal needs!
...
Given that our typical client is flying once or twice a week, we have geared our program specifically towards that type of client.
...
We have developed many tools and incorporated them into our online syllabus to help minimize regression in between lessons, and to help you achieve your goals as efficiently as YOU are able!
...
We have carefully coordinated reading assignments with each flight lesson so that you will be properly prepared for each lesson. This will maximize your ability to learn during each lesson, reduce your overall cost, and help you to succeed.
...
Our goal is to help you to master the art of safe flying as efficiently as possible!
.
 

Minimized Start-Up Costs!
...
We understand that learning to fly is a very expensive undertaking.
...
We use FAA publications that can be downloaded from our website for free!
...
We have moved our specially designed flight training syllabus online:
 
...
Our syllabus is available AT NO CHARGE to our enrolled clients!
 
...
Our syllabus is flexible and can be used with any books you may already have.
...
After your introductory lesson, you will only need the following to start taking regular flying lessons:
 
...
Pilot Logbook
 
...
Pilot Headset (we consider this a "personal item" - every pilot should have their own)
 
...
We need to verify you are a US citizen (or you must complete a TSA background check)
...
There are no mandatory up front expenses (registration fees, club fees, etc.)
...
Our clients typically "pay as they go," so you will not be required to make any large deposits.
   
.
All of this helps you to ensure that flying is "right for you" without having to make a large initial investment.
.
...
(Some fight schools charge as much as $1,000 up front in enrollment fees and ground school courses.)
