Cost & Requirements

The actual cost will vary according to the individual and how well we are able to manage our schedule against our syllabus. My flight & ground training items are based directly on the *Gleim Private Pilot Course Syllabus which, when completed correctly, ensures that ALL FAA Minimum Requirements are met.  

Essentially, we will be adhering to Parts 61 and Part 91 of the Code of Federal Regulations:

Part 61 - CERTIFICATION: PILOTS, FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS, AND GROUND INSTRUCTORS 

Part 91 - GENERAL OPERATING AND FLIGHT RULES

In terms of actual flight Training and practical Pilot Experience (Aeronautical), this outline that simplifies this what's to be expected. However, in addition, you must also pass a knowledge test and practical test (Verbal and Flight) with an FAA examiner. 

Here are the MINIMUM PRIVATE PILOT TRAINING COSTS you can expect to pay using your aircraft.

Other Stuff:

3rd class Medical Certificate - Required before solo flight. This is a very routine exam that certifies that your are fit fly as a Student and Private Pilot.  The Basic Medical Option is now available as and alternative. 

Proof of US Citizenship - Birth Certificate or Passport is required. 

 Language - You must be able to read and write English

 Weight & Balance -  As part of all preflight briefings, I require that we verify that all weight & balance limitations (max takeoff weight & CG) are within legal limits.
