LEARN TO FLY!!!

INTRODUCTION 
The minimum flight experience required by the FAA to obtain a Private Pilot Certificate is 40 hours. Of those 40 hours, 20 hours must be with a flight instructor and at least 10 hours of those 40 are solo flight hours. For a person to obtain a Private Pilot Certificate in the minimum 40 hours is possible but not very common. The national average is 76 hours, but that's taking into account many people who drag their training out for years, or never even finish. The average person who is able to make it to the airport for 2-3 lessons per week is able to complete the training in under 55 hours.

While the cost of flight training varies depending on several factors, the tables below outline the cost of the Private Pilot Certificate at Inflight Pilot Training LLC based on both the 40 hour bare minimum and the 55 hour average. Included and itemized are estimates of all other costs you will have during your training.
