Our Private Pilot License course fee typically includes aircraft rental for training flights, instruction from our experienced Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs), and access to our ground school materials. Please note that additional costs such as FAA written exam fees and the practical checkride fee are separate. We can provide a detailed breakdown of all potential costs during your introductory meeting.
The time it takes to earn your Private Pilot License varies depending on your learning pace and the frequency of your lessons. On average, most students complete the program within 6 to 12 months, flying 2-3 times per week. We tailor our training to your schedule and learning style to ensure you progress efficiently.
Safety is our top priority. We adhere strictly to all FAA regulations and have comprehensive safety protocols in place. Our aircraft undergo regular maintenance by certified mechanics, and our instructors emphasize safety procedures in every lesson. We also conduct thorough pre-flight briefings and weather checks before each flight. Learn more about us!
With a Private Pilot License, you'll have the freedom to fly yourself and passengers for personal enjoyment. Many of our graduates go on scenic flights over the Chesapeake Bay, travel to visit friends and family, or even pursue further ratings like the Instrument Rating to expand their flying capabilities and career potential. The sky's the limit!
For your first introductory flight lesson, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. We will provide all the necessary flight equipment. You might also want to bring a notebook and pen to jot down any notes, and feel free to bring a camera to capture the experience! Learn more about Discovery Flights!
