The FAA states the minimum requirements only. The national average to complete a check ride is 65 hours. You should take the FAA minimums like any world record out there. Is it doable? Yes, it is. Someone has done it. Can I do it? Well, let’s go back to that word COMMITMENT again…

There are many reasons that could cause you to be among those who complete their Private Pilot License at about 60 hours of flight time. Family obligations, personal matters, work schedules, and financial restrictions are the most common roadblocks encountered by students. In addition, the weather always plays a major role in aviation. Fortunately, Texas weather is fairly good year-round. While most flight schools up north struggle with the weather during the winter months, we are still flying for most of it!

 

Pilot License:

• Minimum age of 17 years old.
• Be able to read, speak, and understand the English language.
• Be able to obtain a 3rd Class Medical Certificate.
• Have a birth certificate or a valid passport and a valid photo ID.
• Pass a written, oral, and flight test (check ride).

FLIGHT REQUIREMENTS:

• A minimum of 40 hours of flight time is required by the FAA to be eligible for your private pilot certificate. Within those 40 hours there must be:
  • Minimum of 20 hours of dual flight instruction which will include:
    • 3 hours of cross country flight time.
    • 3 hours of instrument flight training.
    • 3 hours of night training including one night cross country flight and at least 10 take offs and landings.
  • Minimum of 10 hours of solo flight which will include:
    • 5 hours of solo cross country flight.
    • 3 take offs and landings at an airport with an operating control tower.
• The remaining 10 hours can be used as a combination of both dual and solo flight to sharpen your new flying skills prior to your check ride.
