Interested in Flight Training?

Learning to fly is fun, challenging and rewarding.  Flight instruction may begin at any age, but before you begin flight training the prospective student should consider the basic requirements:

  • Must be a Citizen of the United States

  • Must be at least 16 years of age to solo

  • Must be 17 years of age for a Private Pilot Certificate

  • Must be able to obtain at least a 3rd Class Medical Certificate PRIOR to First Solo

  • Must be able to read, speak, write and understand the English language

Please Note: A Medical Certificate is not required prior to Ground School or during the earliest part of Flight Training.  But we do recommend obtaining a Medical Examination/Certificate by the forth or fifth flight lesson.

Foreign Student Pilots

Non-U.S. Citizens must begin a TSA authorization process that includes: 

  • Notifying the flight school of their intent to take Flight Training

  • Request Authorization through TSA's "Alien Flight Student Program"

    • The TSA's authorization process has several steps that include, but not limited to;  presenting documentation, finger printing and being photographed.  Also there is a processing fee associated with this program.  For more information please go to the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association or the TSA web site regarding the Alien Flight Student Program.
