Private Pilot Training Program
To be eligible for a private pilot certificate, a person must be at least 17 years of age to take the FAA checkride. A person can solo at 16 years of age. Under the Dept. of Homeland Security (TSA) Part 1552, proof of US citizenship must be proven before flight training can begin.
All Non-USA flight students interested in flight training at JustFly! Flight Training go to the TSA website: www.flightschoolcandidates.gov for further answers to flight training questions.
Obtain an FAA medical certificate from an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME).
The FAA regulations requires a person must log at least 40 hours of flight time that includes at least 20 hours from an authorized instructor and 10 hours of solo flight training in the areas of operation listed in Part 61.107(b)(1), and training must include at least:
3 hours of cross-country flight training in a single-engine airplane
3 hours of night flight training in a single-engine airplane that includes—
One cross-country flight of over 100 nautical miles total distance; and 10 takeoffs and 10 landings to a full stop (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport.
3 hours of flight training in a single-engine airplane on the control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments, including straight and level flight, constant airspeed climbs and descents, turns to a heading, recovery from unusual flight attitudes, radio communications, and the use of navigation systems/facilities and radar services appropriate to instrument flight;
10 hours of solo flight time in a single-engine airplane, consisting of at least—
5 hours of solo cross-country time; One solo cross-country flight of at least 150 nautical miles total distance, with full-stop landings at a minimum of three points, and one segment of the flight consisting of a straight-line distance of at least 50 nautical miles between the takeoff and landing locations.
Three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport with an operating control tower
3 hours of flight training in preparation for the practical test in a single-engine airplane, which must have been performed within 60 days preceding the date of the test?
A person will have to take the FAA Knowledge test with a score of 70% or more.
So whether you are an academic student, in the work force or retired, our training program is structured toward you, the individual. There is no specific time limit for training completion and optimistically, flying 2-3 times per week (usually 2-hour blocks of time) is the best. However, we realize that this is not always possible, so we structure our training to meet your personal schedule.

4. 2 hours of night VFR cross country, straight-line distance of
100nm from departure point.
d. One solo cross country of 300nm, with three landings, and a
straight-line distance of 250nm from the departure point;

Cockpit Companion Course
Have you wondered what would happen if the pilot became incapacitated during a flight in which you were a passenger? Do you want to know more about how airplanes work, don't want to take a lengthy ground school or flight training? The cockpit companion course is designed for spouses, significant others and friends of pilots. The course primarily focuses on communication, navigation and landing the airplane.
