Flying can become an exciting
part of your life. The sensation of breaking the bounds of the
earth and navigating above the towns and fields to see our world
in a way that few experience, can only be understood by those
who have done it. Flying challenges you, provides continuous
learning, builds confidence, and makes you a member of an
exclusive and wonderful family called “pilots.”
What is a Private
Pilot Certificate ?
A Private Pilot
Certificate is much like our driver’s licenses, except it
enables you to fly an airplane! Along with the fun you will have
flying, it also puts destinations you never thought of, within
reach.
Requirements:
There is no min. age for flight training however...
You must be 17 years of
age to obtain your certificate, (16 years old to solo)
You must be able to write, speak and understand
English.
Be able to obtain a third class FAA Medical Certificate issued by an FAA
Approved Physician
Fly a minimum of 40 hours: including 10 hours solo, 20 hours
instructional, 5 hours solo cross-country (more than 50
Nautical
Miles), 3 hours at night and 3 hours on instruments only. Please
note that these times are all minimums.
Pass a 60-question multiple-choice knowledge test given at
our Cat's
FAA Approved Test Center.
Pass a practical flight evaluation with an FAA Designated Pilot
Examiner.
AT THIS TIME NCFS HAS A 100% PASSING RECORD FOR
ANY STUDENT PILOT TAKING THEIR FLIGHT EVALUATION !
How Long Does it Take To Get A Private Pilot Certificate ?
This depends a great deal upon you and your dedication to
learning the skills required for safe flight. The one thing most people
don't realize is that the more often you fly the the shorter the review time on
each flight and thus the shorter total time required to cover all the skills and
material required for safe flight.
Our average for
completion is around 50 hrs. much lower than the national
average of approx 70 hrs.
How Do I Get
Started?
Take the controls in one
of our Cessna 172's along with an instructor, over beautiful
Presque Isle, and discover how fun it is to fly! Call today to
