Training Course Details

Code of Federal Aviation Regulations 14 CFR Part 61.107(b)(1) details the areas of operation in which training must be received for the issue of a Private Pilot Certificate – Airplane Category, Single Engine Class Rating, and 14 CFR Part 61.109(a) details the minimum training requirements for the issue of a certificate

These flight times are the minimum allowed by the regulations, but many factors influence the progress of flight training, and it is only in very few instances that a student will meet the required standards of proficiency in the minimum times

It is more usual for a student to require between 55-60 hours of training to be proficient in all areas of operation.
