No. People of all shapes and sizes, ages and abilities have learned to fly. It’s fun, and from the beginning of your training, you get to do most of the actual flying! On the practical side — while flying isn’t a difficult skill to learn, you’ll have to be willing to stick with it until you meet all the requirements. Also, you should consider the cost of becoming a pilot — you’ll have to pay for your physical exam and your lessons.

Right away. All you have to do is contact our flight center and sign up for an introductory lesson. You don’t have to have a student pilot’s certificate or a medical certificate to take flying lessons.

It depends on you, however, the more time you can commit to lessons consistently, the quicker/cheaper you’ll get done.  There is no set number of lessons or hours of flight training. Your instructor must make sure you have learned to perform certain maneuvers before allowing you to solo. These maneuvers include safe takeoffs and landings. You must use good judgment when flying and be able to keep control of the aircraft.
Also, you’ll have to get a medical certificate and a student pilot’s certificate to fly solo.

Premier Flight Center’s  custom training curriculum suggests a minimum of 2 flight lessons a week. With this frequency a new private pilot can expect to train between 50-60 hours.

You must be at least 16 years old to get your student pilot certificate. You’ll need to be 17 in order to receive the regular pilot’s license. There’s no age limit for you to fly, as long as you qualify medically.

Students who can commit to at least 3 lessons a week and who come prepared can expect to spend around $13,000-$15,000. That is very competitive to the nationwide average. Plus, Premier Flight Center has pilot supplies available! From checklists, to knee boards, to battery-charging backpacks….we got you supplied.

Yes. A well-built and well-maintained aircraft flown by a competent and prudent pilot is as safe or safer than many other forms of transportation.

Modern aircraft engines are reliable and failure rarely occurs. However, your lessons will cover what to do in this situation, including selecting a good landing area and safely landing.

Yes! we offer Private pilot, Instrument, and Commercial training, and multi-engine training as well. Premier is the area experts in specialized training such as Certified Flight Instructor, Instrument Proficiency checks, Bi-annual flight reviews, and even glass cockpit transition training.
