To start learning how to fly, we suggest scheduling an Introductory Lesson. The lesson consists of about 30 minutes of prepping the aircraft and displaying how to properly handle the plane, giving you about 40-50 minutes of flying time. With the Introductory Lesson being $249, it is a great way to get a taste of the program, and will thus set expectations for upcoming lessons you decide to enroll in.
The Private Pilot Course is the first course that an incoming pilot is mandated to take, which follows a syllabus approved by the FAA. You will be working with one instructor for the duration and will have a personalized schedule based on your availability and desired pace. We find 2-3 lessons per week is the ideal number of flights to get through the training quickly.
Penn Flight Academy offers flexible scheduling, encouraging students to partake at their own pace. Some students complete this Private Pilot course in under 3 months, others take longer. It is all based on the students themselves. Standard lessons are 2 hours long, which you can schedule on all days of the week, from 7 am to 7 pm.
There is no minimum age to start lessons or even to take the introductory flight. 16 years old is the minimum age to solo the airplane for your training and 17 years old is the minimum to obtain your license.
