Private Pilot Certificate

To save you money, we've partnered with Gold Seal, the industry leader in online ground schools. You'll work through comprehensive ground school lessons that cover all crucial topics needed for successful flight training. While you progress through the material independently, your instructor is always ready to help when you request it. Upon completion of ground school, you'll take your FAA written test, which is a prerequisite to take your check ride.

After passing your written test, you'll begin flight training. Flight training is proficiency-based, and your success depends on consistent practice. Therefore, once training starts, we require you to attend flight training three times per week to maintain momentum and ensure efficient progress toward your certificate. After you meet FAA minimums during your training, you are striving to meet FAA PPL testing standards outlined in the FAA ACS. Once you consistently meet those standards, you will be signed off and scheduled for a check ride with an FAA designated examiner who will conduct a thorough test of your skills and award you with a PPL certificate if successful.
