Part 61 Private Pilot Flight Training
Begin with Private Pilot Certificate
All Flying Adventure begins with a Private Pilot Certificate. At Infinite Air Center, we can take you from Zero to Private through our Part 61 Program and can design any curriculum to your schedule.
Estimated Cost for Private Pilot Certificate
FAA has a mandatory minimum number of hours flown with and without an instructor before you can take your final exam (check-ride). Minimum number of hours are 40 hours of flight time and while it is a good goal, it is very difficult to obtain the knowledge and proficiency with 40 hours of flight time. However, we have done it before and have met a lot of pilots that have taken their check-ride at 40 hours so it is completely possible.
At Infinite Air Center, we believe that with regular and consistent training, a motivated student pilot can achieve level of competency with approximately 45 hours of flight time. While other training providers use FAA Minimum of 40 hours for pricing, our pricing estimate below is based on 45 hours of flight time and 35 hours of flight instruction.
Please note that 1 On 1 Ground School is not mandatory and if you opt to study on your own using Gleim Ground School Kit, you will need to deduct $1,000.00 flat rate from approximate cost below. With that being said, we highly recommend 1 On 1 Ground School as our first time pass rate has increased from 40%-45% to 80%-85% with use of 1 On 1 Ground School.
Typical cost of a Private Pilot Certificate through Infinite Air Center varies between aircraft used but is approximately $9,950.00 to $12,050.00 excluding FAA computerized exam, medical exam, and check ride exam fees.
