TRAINING AIRPLANES & FLIGHT SIMULATORS
PRIVATE PILOT TRAINING – SACRAMENTO – CALIFORNIA
PRIVATE PILOT TRAINING – OVERVIEW
When you have your Private Pilot License, you’ll be able to fly friends and family on trips around the country or even internationally. Typically you’ll fly a rented four or six seat airplane that flies at speeds in the 130 to 250 mph range. You might decide to own your own airplane, though most pilots do not. You’ll have access to over 3000 airports around the country and over 5000 airports around the world and will be able to take trips on a weekend that would otherwise require days of travelling by car. Perhaps most important, though, you’ll have the freedom of the skies, able to take off and enjoy the breathtaking scenery and freedom of the skies whenever you choose. You’ll also have set yourself apart from the majority of the population, mastered a great challenge, experienced probably the greatest adventure of all, and have become one of the few who master the skies.
PRIVATE PILOT – TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
To become a Private Pilot typically involves between 35 and 65 hours of flight time, some ground training with an instructor, and you must pass two tests. The FAA regulations requires that you must have at least 35 flight hours if you train at a CFR141 Certified school, but passing in such a short time is fairly unusual; the average is around 65 hours. You might spend anywhere from a few weeks to a year to obtain the license depending on your other commitments and time available for training. Most of your flight hours will be with an instructor, but part-way through your training, you will start to fly solo, entirely by yourself. The first solo flight is a great event in every pilot’s career, regardless of whether that pilot becomes a military, airline, or other professional, or just flies for fun.
The tests are carefully controlled for fairness and consistency, and if you’re a safe and competent pilot, properly prepared by your instructor, you should pass easily. One test is a computer based multiple choice format , while the other is a practical test with an examiner, often called the “checkride.” In the practical test, your examiner will ask you oral questions, and then take you flying to determine if your skills are up to the required standards.
PRIVATE PILOT LICENSE – TRAINING COSTS
The cost of obtaining your Private Pilot License is made up of airplane rental, instructor time, books, study materials, pilot supplies, and the test fees. Obviously the final cost depends heavily on how many lessons you need before you’re ready to take the tests. Another significant variable is the airplane you decide to fly while learning. Many people choose to fly a Cessna 172 while they’re pursuing a Private Pilot license, and that will typically cost $120~$145 per hour to rent. If you’re light and not too tall (perhaps less than 170 lbs and under 6′ tall you might choose to fly the Cessna 150 or 152 instead, which is a little cheaper). We also provide training in a modern sport plane called the Remos GX, with digital glass cockpit. Expect your instructor fees in the region of $40 t0 55/hour, for instruction . You can minimize the costs of “ground school” by studying the bookwork by yourself as much as possible and turning up to each lesson well prepared.
For a reasonably realistic working budget you should consider airplane and instructor time, add perhaps $450 for books and materials, another $150~$300 for a headset (you’ll probably want your own) and charts, and about $500 for the exam fees. The costs are spread over the time you take to complete your license. Look at this as a journey, rather than a single achievement, as you’ll presumably want to continue flying after you have been awarded your pilot certificate. Some lenders offer financing for flight instruction, though this varies with the economic climate. Notably, if you’re a Veteran, your benefits can be used for some aspects of flight training.
LEARN WITH EXCITEMENT & FUN
Students enjoy learning at our flight school with our hands on approach to learning, keeping it fun and exciting. Below are pictures from our last Private pilot course. We are proud that the course was a 100% success. Every student who attended the course passed the tests and have become Private Pilots.
5 DAY GROUND SCHOOL
JetExe aviation conducts ground school courses for private pilot students, periodically. This ground school course provides 5 full days of lessons in a very effective manner and covers the entire private pilot course in a detailed, well paced manner. This is not the typical ground school offered by many in flight schools , to pass the written test only. This course teaches you everything you need to know “knowledge” as a private pilot. Normally and we conduct one Ground school course every 3 months. The Saturday classes start at 9:00 AM and finish at 5:00 PM, breaks between each lecture. We also provide a great lunch each Saturday and and coffee breaks between the sessions. The students love these Saturdays more than anything, because you have a lot of fun while learning, have great food and also make a lot of friends who have the same goal of becoming a pilot. There are lim thereto need one to leave it there for him to come and pick it up from the month you a value that you how much as I might as is the balance the old are broker and an Der art center ited seats for this course and is normally sold out early. Please call us to book your seat for the next session, before is fully booked.
YOUR FIRST FLIGHT LESSON
A first lesson is a flexible thing, your instructor will answer any questions you might have: about airplanes, about how to fly, about costs, and about what to expect for the rest of the time you’re a student pilot. But rather than spend a lot of time on the ground, the main point of the first lesson will be to do some flying and get the feel for being in the air. If there’s somewhere you’d like to go, ask your instructor, if it’s reasonable, you can probably do that. We offer gift and introductory flight packages. In these flights, you can expect to do much of the flying, but if you’d rather just go along for the ride and get the feel for what’s happening, perhaps even just to decide if you like the experience, you can do that too. Your instructor will try to find out what you’d like to do, but if you have a plan then it’s easier if you just say so. It’s your time, it’s your first flight lesson, and the only important thing is that you should enjoy it.
If you take an introductory flight with us, bring your camera too; you can take pictures from the air.
Call us or email us, for your Free appointment or to book an “Introductory” flight lesson.
