| Private Pilot License (PPL) |
The journey of flying typically begins with the Private Pilot Certificate. By receiving your Private Pilot's License you will have a proven mastery over the fundamentals of airmanship, navigation, and communication. Probably the most thrilling and satisfying of all the pilot ratings, the Private Pilot can fly virtually anywhere under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) while taking passengers along for the adventure.
The time it requires to become a private pilot varies appreciably, depending on the student's commitment to the training. Most typically it requires between four to six months if a pilot flies twice a week. More frequent flying can drop that to between two to four months, and some candidates have completed training in periods as short as three weeks. That requires full-time participation and complete dedication to a strict training regime. We start student's training at any time of their convenience, eliminating the delays of fixed course / batch schedule. The day you want to start flying is the day you start flying.
