What does it take to start? 

The path to become a pilot starts with earning your Private Pilot Certificate.  The Federal Aviation Administration regulations require that you have a minimum of 40 hours of flying before you earn your certificate.  Many people take between 55 and 80 hours of instructional (dual) and solo flying hours to obtain the proper skills and experience to be a private pilot.  The time it takes depends on how often you fly.  Flying at least two hours a week is recommended to keep your training on path to successful completion.  About 10 hours of ground instruction will be necessary to properly prepare you as a pilot.  You must also pass a Third Class Medical, a written test, and a practical test with a FAA designated pilot examiner. At 16 years old, you can fly solo and at 17 you can earn your Private Pilot certificate. 

Our instructors are highly competent and have produced many new pilots and certified flight instructors.  They are committed to making a safe and proficient pilot.  If you are having any difficulties, we will work with you to ensure there is a good fit with you and your instructor.

Cash, checks, and all major credit cards are accepted.  We encourage you to pay-as-you-fly.  It is not necessary to pay for your training at one time.

Crosswind Flight Training can also provide you with block time to reduce the cost of flying and help you to build your flight resume.  If you are interested in building hours of flight time, please give us a call at 321-800-UFLY (8359).

We provide training from 9AM-5PM Monday through Saturday. (Sunday by appointment only)
