You have been dreaming about it since you were young; the exhilarating sensation of flight. You've gazed into the sky and watched airplanes whisk their passengers to far away places. You've always dreamed about flying, but thought it would be too hard to learn or too expensive, but learning to fly is easy, affordable, accessible and most importantly, safe. It's an adventure that will prove to be challenging, fun and satisfying.


Flying can become an exciting part of your life. The sensation of breaking the bonds of the earth and navigating above the towns and fields to see our world in a way that few experience, can only be understood by those who have done it.


Flying challenges you, provides continuous learning, builds confidence, and makes you a member of an exclusive and wonderful family called “pilot.”

So, what are the basic requirements for an Airplane Private Pilot Certificate?

The requirements for being issued a private pilot license are governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

To get a private pilot’s license, you must;

· be at least 17 years

· have a current FAA third-class medical certificate

· log at least 40 hours of flight

· have at least 20 hours of flight with an instructor

· have at least 10 hours of solo flight

· pass the FAA Private Pilot Airmen Knowledge written test

· pass a FAA Private Pilot flight exam

Learning to fly will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, and anyone CAN learn to fly, but as every journey starts with the first step, so does learning to fly.  Purchase a Discovery Flight today and begin living the dream.  Want to start learning right now!  Watch the video below!
