About the program

Combine ground preparation, aircraft instruction and simulator practice toward initial private pilot testing. The current catalog lists this separately as an avocational course; its school completion certificate is not itself the FAA pilot certificate.

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.
