LEARN TO FLY

  LEARNING TO FLY! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? SERVICES WE OFFER:
 

Flying is safe, fun and a great way to visit places you didn’t know were so close by air.

As a beginner learning to fly you will be working toward completing what is called your “Private Pilots License” and you will be part of the general aviation community.

 With your private pilots license you are able to rent aircraft and take passengers to over 5300 airports in the U.S.

BECOMING A
PRIVATE PILOT

You may start training at any age

You can solo upon reaching your 16th birthday

You must be able to read and speak English and pass a basic medical exam prior to solo flight.

Your pilot training will consist of both ground and flight lessons covering flight rules and regulations, flight planning, navigation, flight maneuvers, radio procedures and weather.
Upon completion of your flight and ground training you will take an FAA written exam and a Flight test with an FAA designated examiner here at our facility.

There are many factors that affect this question:

How many times a week can I afford to take a lesson? The more often you take a lesson the more proficient you stay at performing the air work. This allows you to continually progress each lesson and thus finish sooner.

What about bad weather? Here in New England there are times when we may not be able to fly do to inclement weather. We will use those days to work on the ground lessons to keep us moving  forward.

How much home studying do I have to do?
The more home study you do the more prepared you will be for your next lesson. This results in paying for less ground with your instructor and accomplishing your goal sooner.
