Completion time of the private pilot certificate depends on the frequency of training. Students training 2-3 times per week can expect to spend up to four-five months in training. The average cost can vary from $8,500 to $12,500, depending upon the length of time for completion of the course and your own ability to learn. We do our best to keep your costs to a minimum.
