| The private pilot program consists of five different phases totaling 40 hours of flight. The five program phases are: Flight Basics, Pre-Solo, Solo, Cross Country, and Test Preparation which prepares the student for the Federal Aviation Administration tests. |
| |
| The private pilot course is designed to teach a student all he will need to be a safe and proficient pilot. He will also receive flight equipment and ground school at Florida Air Academy to enable the learning of all the subject material. The student must be 16 years old, possess a class III medical certificate and a student pilot license in order to solo in an airplane. |
| |
To become a private pilot, the minimum age is 17. The flight instructor assigned to the student determines when he is ready, not the number of flight hours. Safety is the top priority!
|
| |
| In each phase the cadet builds on his knowledge to reach the goal of receiving his Private Pilot License. Cadets who successfully complete the program take three separate tests required by the Federal Aviation Administration: written, oral, and practical (flight). |
