Aviation 101 - Private Pilot Certificate
Our “Learn to Fly” course consists of around 80 hours of total on-site education – this satisfies the minimums and provides you the training that you need. The majority of that time is going to be in a Cessna 172, Piper 100i or simulator and the rest is going to be on the ground and in the classroom. Students learning to fly with American Flyers have unlimited access to practice in our on-site simulators.

Choosing The Right Flight School
Your flight training experience should be focused on learning how to fly, how to understand aircraft systems and performance and most importantly, how to become the best all-around pilot possible.
Determining which school to attend to earn your private pilot certificate should be based more on the quality of education than cheap hourly rates. Let’s remind ourselves of the famous quote “you get what you pay for.” This is especially true in aviation. The quality of your primary flight training will determine your long-term success as a pilot.
What works for someone else may not work for you. Do you need a program that allows you to work at your own pace or do you want to go through your training with a group in an academy style setting?
