Private Pilot Certificate
Learning to fly can be one of life's most rewarding adventures! Admit it. You’ve always wondered if you could do it, if you “had what it takes”! Well: you do. And you too can learn to fly. It’s probably easier than you think!
What can you expect of our course?
Our training course has been developed by Cessna Aircraft and King Schools, and it is the industry standard for primary flight training. Flight training is conducted in either new model Cessna 172 Skyhawks or the economical Cessna 152. The academic portion of the course is computer based, and can be done either at home or at our facilities. All training is “self paced”.
How long does it take?
This depends on how much time you can dedicate to your training and studies. If you can schedule at least three 2 hour sessions a week for flight and ground training, and can dedicate a similar amount of time at home for studying, you can expect to finish in around 60 days.
Our Private Pilot course includes:
- Cessna DVD course home study materials;
- 40 hours of flight time in a Cessna 172R or 152; and
- 60 hours of flight or ground instruction.
