About the program

The Cessna training approach previews lessons before aircraft practice and builds toward private pilot testing. Ask which individual Part 61 or Part 141 plan fits your schedule; the university degree is a separate option.

Preparation for the FAA Private Pilot Certificate (airplane); requires successful knowledge and practical tests. Not a commercial pilot qualification or permission to fly for hire, except limited regulatory exceptions.
