About the program

Progress through pre-solo fundamentals, decision-making and cross-country experience, then practical-test preparation. Stage checks assess proficiency. Online ground study supports hands-on flight training; this is not an instrument or commercial qualification.

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.
