Private Pilot Costs

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:03:50 +0000

Flight Training Costs

Realistically, the national average is approximately 70-hours to obtain your Private Pilot Certificate. In San Diego, due to our good weather and being able to fly consistently the average is approximately 65-hours to obtain your Private Pilot Certificate.

Using the national average and local costs, the price range to obtain your Private Pilot Certificate can vary from $8,000 USD to $11,000 USD depending on whether you use a Part 141 Flight School, which is the most expensive or a Part 61 Flight School or Instructor, which is the least expensive.

Both types of schools train their students to the same FAA standards. In addition, both schools even use the same FAA examiners to perform checkrides. The average training period ranges from 9-months to 1-year, based on the frequency of flight lessons.

The general rule is…..the more you fly, the quicker you’ll pass.

FAA Flight School Changes

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:31:32 +0000

Under new rules proposed by the FAA this week, flight schools would be excused from the requirement to have a ground school space if they offer Internet-based ground-school training, and students would be allowed to apply for both a private pilot certificate and an instrument rating at the same time. The agency also said it would like to change its definition of “complex airplane” to include airplanes equipped with FADEC engines. Another change would require pilots of single-pilot-certified light jets to pass a proficiency check. The FAA also said it would like to make it easier to issue U.S. certificates to foreign pilots. “Because of changing technology in aviation, the results of successful research, and an international agreement, the FAA has determined these proposed changes to the pilot, flight instructor, and pilot school certification rules are necessary,” the FAA said in its proposal. The changes will help to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens, the FAA said.

The proposal also would change the requirements for commercial pilot applicants, both single-engine and multiengine, to replace the current 10 hours of complex airplane aeronautical experience with 10 hours of advanced instrument training. Fewer single-engine aircraft are being produced with retractable landing gear, the FAA said, but more have technologically advanced cockpits. “Many pilot schools have complained about the necessity to keep 30-year old Cessna 172RGs and Piper Arrows in inventory, which are less technically advanced airplanes, for the sole purpose of providing 10 hours of complex airplane training,” the FAA said. Furthermore, the FAA said, most commercial pilot applicants are simultaneously applying for the instrument-airplane rating, so this proposal would reduce training costs and align the rules with current training and certification practices.
