HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO LEARN?
We progress through the flying course at your pace, you will be flying with your own personal instructor so we will ensure the training exactly suits your needs. The minimum flying hours is 20 hours including 5 hours of solo flying. As there is a lot of necessary training to cover, it is unrealistic to complete the course in the minimum hours. For planning purposes please allow sufficient flight training with us to feel secure, comfortable and confident with your flying. We will brief you on your progress through the course. Most pilots plan on flying once each week, the frequency is up you and your availability.
