INSTRUCTION

Instruction $36.00/hr.

Although the cost of learning to fly varies from pilot to pilot, we have found that the average student will spend roughly $200 per lesson, or $1950 up to their first solo flight. The FAA requires two solo hours and twenty solo flights for a student to be eligible for the Private Pilot Certificate, and the total cost up to that point is approximately $3250 - $3500.

A pilot can add-on a glider rating to an existing power certificate for about $1500 to $1700. The FAA requires ten solo flights to add-on a private rating in gliders, and twenty solo flights for a commercial. The add-on rating meets the requirements of an annual or biennial flight review.

Our aim is to help each individual pilot develop and refine his flying skills and discover the essence of the sport of soaring. If we can be of any help, or if you wish to reserve time for a ride or to start instruction, please call us at (661) 822-5267. We are looking forward to sharing with you the thrill and freedom of silent flight --SOARING!
