• Minimum age of 17 years to qualify for a Private Pilot Certificate.
• Proficiency in reading, speaking, writing, and understanding the English language.

Our Recommendations for Aspiring Pilots:

• Acquiring a medical certificate is essential for acting as Pilot in Command of any aircraft. Ensure your eligibility for a medical certificate by consulting an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) before embarking on your flight training journey.
• Commitment and consistency are key in flight training. To facilitate effective learning, we advise dedicating sufficient time to study and attending training sessions at the airport at least twice a week. Remember, the more time you can devote, the quicker and more cost-efficient your journey to becoming a pilot will be.
• Completing the written exam early in your training can significantly smooth your path to certification. Delaying the written test could become a stumbling block, so take advantage of home study courses and their test prep materials to prepare thoroughly and efficiently.
