FLIGHT COURSES

Private Pilot Course: A Private Pilot's License allow the pilot to fly day or night in good weather. The pilot may take passengers, how-ever pilot can only share expenses - not make money. To become a private pilot the student must have a minimum of 40 hours is the air-20 with an instructor, 10 solo, and the last 10 with or without an instructor.

However, the pilot must meet minimum requirements and meet the FAA standards. The national average is almost 90 air hours. How many hours it takes an individual will depend upon the frequency of the flight lessons; the person time and resources available; coordination skills; comprehension of English and most importantly, the weather. All of these factors will also effect the final costs. Upon completion of the training, the student must pass a knowledge test on a computer and a practical test with an FAA Designated Examiner.
