Plan Your Training

Three paths to your Private Pilot License.

Most students earn their PPL in around 65 hours. The path you take is more about the aircraft you fly — from classic steam-gauge trainer to full-glass G1000 — than the time it takes.

Every pilot's journey is unique. The numbers below are example scenarios to help you plan — your actual hours, pace, and total will depend on how often you fly, how quickly skills click, and which aircraft you choose along the way.
