We embrace mastery and despise mediocrity.
Incentivize and motivate efficiency and mastery.
how we do it
how we do it
We teach pilots "how to think," not "what to think," so that they can be independent and self-sufficient at all times.
We do not train for the test. We train pilots for the real world, so that they can function as confident aviators right out of the flight test.
what we do
what we do
Private pilot training.
Flight reviews via quarterly FAA WINGS Activities and Phases.
We offer "pay-as-you-go" or "hourly" training options with limited availability, which allows us best to serve our committed clients with an unlimited package.
Becoming a private pilot costs $25,000.

Realistic price breakdown to become a pilot:
Realistic price breakdown to become a pilot:
The national average to become a private pilot is 75 hours.
The average airplane rental is $200 per hour.
The average CFI (instructor) is $85 per hour.
The average flight lesson is 1.5 hours of aircraft rental plus 2.5 of flight/ground instruction.
That's $512.50 per lesson.
The average flight student is advised to fly 3 times per week.
That's $1,537.50 per week.
You get on average 3 weeks per month of flying due to weather and maintenance.
That's $4,612.50 per month.
1.5 hours per lesson * 3 lessons per week * 3 weeks per month = 13.5 hours per month.
75 hours average / 13.5 hours per month = 5.66 months
That's $26,106.75 spent on flight, ground, and rental.
Subtract 10 hours of CFI time for solo flights.
That's $25,256.75 total. Not including check rides, tests, books, and gear, usually adding another $2,000.
- With hourly rates, the CFI has no incentive to be good.
- if they work fast and do a good job, they make less money.
- this MAKES students lose trust in their cfi.
Hourly rates rip off the CFI for being good and punish the student for being bad.
Another unspoken truth about hourly rates is that it is common to take longer to complete training because the CFI gets more money and flight hours if the student takes longer. This leads to flight instructors being apathetic and not caring, drastically reducing the quality of the training. CFIs get burnt out very fast on hourly rates.
Do you want a CFI who cares, is dedicated, efficient, and good?
Do you want a CFI who cares, is dedicated, efficient, and good?
Then get on the waiting list for our UNLIMITED PRIVATE PILOT Course.
Otherwise, run the risk of the hourly rates. There's no guarantees, no commitment, little trust, no incentive, and no way of knowing how much it will actually cost... because who knows how long your CFI will milk you for more time and money.
