What can I do with a Private Pilot License?
Your Private Pilot License lets you fly and carry passengers in most single-engine, land-based airplanes, in good weather conditions. Private pilots are authorized to fly in and out of any public airports in the United States.
How long does it take to get a Private Pilot License?
The minimum amount of flight time the FAA requires before a student can take the practical exam is 40 hours. However, the national average is closer to 65-70 hours. If a student flies an average of two hours a week, it would take approximately 20 weeks to build the required time. The key to finishing more quickly is to fly frequently and regularly, and to keep your ground school paced with your lessons.
Who will teach me to fly?
The Aero Club has flight instructors on contract. Aero Club insructors are experienced pilots who have passed rigorous FAA exams.
