Special Notes
You’ll be flying from day one, getting hands-on experience. The FAA minimum hour requirement for a Private Pilot Certificate is 35 hours of ground training and 35 hours of flight training. Most people complete their training in 40-45 flight hours, but we can’t guarantee a specific minimum for completion—everyone learns at a different rate. If you’re aiming for a private helicopter pilot license, additional specialized training will be required to master helicopter controls and navigation.
