How Do I Get Started?
Getting started is easy! The very first step is setting up your discovery flight. Once you've decided to start your aviation journey you will need to first obtain a Medical Certificate via an Aviation Medical Examiner. In addition to this, you will also need a headset appropriate for flying, an iPad along with a Foreflight subscription, and a Ground school course to prepare you for your written exam.

How Much Does It Cost?
Flight training costs can vary depending on factors such as type of license or rating you are pursuing, the aircraft you are training in, and the number of flight hours required to meet the training requirements.
On average, the cost of obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate (PPL) can range from $8,000 to $15,000, while a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) can cost between $30,000 to $50,000. Additional ratings such as Instrument and Flight Instructor rating will incur additional costs.
It is important to budget for not only the cost of flight training but also other expenses such as ground school materials, medical exams, written exams, check ride fees, and aircraft rental fees.
Overall, I recommend you research and compare costs from different flight schools to find the best option that fits your budget and training goals.
How Much Time Does It Take?
The time it takes to obtain a pilot certificate can vary depending on several factors, including the type of certificate or rating you are pursuing, your availability for training, and your progress throughout the training program.
On average, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to earn a Private Pilot Certificate (PPL) with consistent training. This time frame includes completing ground school instruction, flight training hours, and passing the necessary exams and checkrides.
For Commercial Pilot Certificate (CPL), the timeline can range from 6 months to 1 year, depending on the specific requirements and the student's dedication to training. Additional ratings, such as Instrument or Flight Instructor rating may add extra time to the overall training process.
It is important to note that individual progress and consistency in training play a significant role in the duration of obtaining a pilot certificate. Students who are able to commit to regular training sessions and study diligently are likely to complete their training in a more timely manner.
