Become A Private Pilot

Having a Private Pilot’s Certificate will enable you to have the freedom of air travel, all on your timeline.

We here at CAVU know that obtaining your Private Pilot Certificate can be time consuming and financially cumbersome.  In an effort to increase the success of our students, we have developed a three phase program.

• Phase 1 – Pre Solo and Flight Maneuvers

• Phase 2 – Solo flight, dual and solo cross country flights. This phase includes navigation, weather planning, and aircraft performance calculations. Night local flight and night cross country flight is introduced.

• Phase 3 – This phase brings all aspects of your training together, and focuses on developing your skills in preparation for your practical test (oral and flight evaluation).

While we wish the world could revolve around flying, we understand that isn’t reality. Let Coast Aero Ventures create an instructional plan that can address your individual circumstances.

Here at Coast Aero Ventures Unlimited, our passion is making pilots that are safe and proficient.  We measure our success by your success!

We recommend budgeting ~$14,000 to complete your private pilot rating, depending on frequency of flying and readiness for lessons. We estimate the following: 50 hours of dual training, 15 hours of solo time, and 20 hours of ground.
