What it Takes (Money)

    • $109 + state and local taxes = $115.54
    • Instructor fee = $48
    • Total = $163.54 per hour dual instruction
      The sport pilot certificate requires a minimum of 20 hours of flight training (15 dual instruction and five supervised solo).
        • 15 * 163.54 = $ 2453.10
        • 5 * 115.54 = $ 577.70
        • Total = $ 3030.18
          That's the cost at minimum time. Figure a more likely total of 30-35 hours (5 more dual, 5 more solo)

          The private pilot certificate requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight training (20 dual instruction and 20 supervised solo). You can earn your private certificate at Adventure in the SportStar.

          Frequent flying pays -- If you fly two or three times a week you’ll earn your certificate in fewer hours than if you fly less often.

          You will need to study for, then pass, the FAA knowledge exam on a dedicated computer terminal and costs $150. Preparation can be done in a formal ground school, through self-study, or self-study supplemented by ground lessons with your instructor.

          The Practical Examination ("checkride") is a two-hour oral exam followed by a one-hour flight test. The examination fee is $300.

          1. I've been at this since the summer of 1997 helping aspiring pilots obtain their license. I've been a certified trainer for over 10 years and I know a thing or two.

            I can teach you everything you need to know quickly in a step-by-step system so you can start flying in the next month or less...

            This is going to change everything for you.

            That means no more paying for expensive lessons and no more attending pricey flight schools. No matter where you are in your path to a pilot, this is what you need to leap to the next level of success.

            So...
