Accelerated Programs
What are Accelerated Programs?
Our accelerated programs are for people that can not take the typical 3-6 months for the certificate or rating. These two-week programs are very intense and require 100% commitment and focus for 8-10 hrs per day. With about 360 VFR days every year, the weather is rarely an issue for us. A lot of information is coming at the student fast, and they can not be distracted by other things outside of flying.
The private pilot accelerated two-week course
The applicant will need the private pilot written complicated along with a current medical certificate before coming for flight training. Plan on flying for 4-6 hours daily, from 6 am to midnight. We use Jeppesen online ground school along with their textbooks. We can provide a discount on the curriculum. We will need to book at least a month in advance for scheduling. We will need a $1000 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot in the schedule. The rates are by the hour, so the faster you learn, the less it will be. Our accelerated private pilot students are running about $15,000-$20,000 in total cost.
