In the early 1950's, the FAA set the minimum requirement for a Private Pilot Certification at 40 hours of total time. Back then, we could have never envisioned the technology that is now available. With the refinement of navigational equipment and radios, and the dramatic increases in airspace traffic the national average now hovers close to 75 total hours. At Western Air Flight Academy, we pride ourselves in helping our students become private pilots in the shortest time possible for them. Because our instructors are generally older and more experienced, we are often able to reduce the necessary training time. Additionally, our AST300 simulator can help students sharpen their skills on those days when the weather is not cooperating. To receive a Private Pilot Certification, a student must be at least 17 years of age, speak English, and be able to secure a 3rd class medical certificate or higher. The total cost of flight training will depend on the individual students aptitude, the frequency of the training, and any possible delays beyond the control of the student or Western Air. Private Pilot Course is FAR 141 Approved.
