Helpful Insights Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a private pilot license?
Most students complete their license in 6–12 months, depending on their availability and frequency of lessons.
What are the minimum requirements?
You must be at least 17 years old to earn your certificate (16 to solo), speak English, and hold a third-class medical certificate.
Do I need to pay for the full course upfront?
No, training is pay-as-you-go. You’ll pay for flight time and instruction as you take lessons, with no upfront contract required.
How much does the full training cost?
Costs vary based on how often you fly and how quickly you progress, but most students invest $12,000–$16,000 for a full PPL. We’ll help you understand the breakdown from the start.
Do I need my own aircraft?
Not at all! You’ll train using Eagle Aviation’s fleet of well-maintained aircraft. Rental and instructor fees are included in your lesson rates.
What if I’ve never flown before?
That’s perfectly fine—and actually, most of our students start with zero experience. Our Discovery Flight is a great place to begin.
Can I earn advanced ratings at Eagle Aviation?
While our primary focus is on Private Pilot training, we can refer you to trusted partners and offer recurrent or transitional training for licensed pilots.
Can I make changes to my itinerary after booking?
We understand that plans can change. Our team will work with you to accommodate modifications, subject to aircraft availability and any applicable fees.
