The FAA sequence runs Private, then Instrument, then Commercial, then CFI.
01 Private Pilot License Most students start with the Private Pilot License. It lets you fly yourself, family and friends, and every other certificate builds on it.
You fly a Cessna 172 with a full-time career instructor, following the school’s own syllabus. Your progress is monitored at every stage.
Under Part 61 the FAA minimum is 40 flight hours. How quickly you get there depends mostly on how often you fly, and we’ll quote your training from your own schedule.
Start with a $200 Discovery Flight. It’s a real lesson with you at the controls.
02 Instrument Rating (IFR) The instrument rating teaches you to fly by reference to the instruments and in the clouds. It makes you a more precise pilot in any weather.
You train in the same Cessna 172s with the same modern avionics you already know, so your attention stays on procedures instead of a new panel.
The FAA requires 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument time and 50 hours of cross-country time as pilot in command.
Already a private pilot? Call and we’ll look at your logbook and plan what’s left.
03 Commercial Pilot License (CPL) The commercial certificate lets you be paid to fly. It’s the next step toward a career as a pilot.
Career students can train full time. Consistent, frequent flying is the fastest route.
Under Part 61 the FAA requires 250 total flight hours for the commercial certificate. We’ll help you plan how to build that time.
Call and we’ll lay out a plan from where you are now to the checkride.
04 Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII) The CFI certificate lets you teach others to fly, and the CFII adds instrument instruction. You’ll learn from instructors who chose teaching as a career.
The school’s instructors are full-time career CFIs, and its founder was a chief instructor. They know what good instruction looks like.
You need a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating to become a CFI; the CFII adds the instrument instructor rating.
Call to talk through where you are and what the CFI or CFII will take.

Training built around you
Discovery Flights are $200. For a certificate or rating we quote you individually, because how often you fly is the biggest factor in what training costs.
