Private Pilot Certificate – Airplane Single-Land
The private pilot certificate is the license that permits the holder to act as the pilot-in-command of an aircraft for personal use but not for compensation. Full-time students can complete the private pilot training program in 12 weeks, if they meet the applicable FAA Airmen Certification Standards. We take pride in the quality of our instruction. We do not train just to pass the test, we will train you to be the most proficient, skillful and safe pilot possible.
