We make Pilots..

You don’t have to be a high-time pilot to make
consistently good decisions about flying. New private
pilots already know most of the things that are likely to
get them into serious trouble: weather, maneuvering
flight, strong winds, etc. A major portion of primary
flight training is devoted to teaching the dangers
inherent in these things. But the key to applying that
training—and the thing that seems to cause pilots the

most difficulty—is recognizing potential hazards and

taking timely action to avoid them.

We do Fly..

Flight is freedom in its purest form,

To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;

To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,
To feel the joy that swells within;

To leave the earth with its troubles and fly,
And know the warmth of a clear spring sky;

Then back to earth at the end of a day,
Released from the tensions which melted away.

Should my end come while I am in flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;

Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;

For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.

What Are the Requirements to Be a Pilot?

I want to fly airplanes. What do I need to do?

The necessary steps to earn this license are:

Pass a basic medical examination.
Receive the required amount of instruction from a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI).
Pass a written examination (100 multiple-choice questions).
Pass a "checkride" (aircraft equivalent of a driving test) given by an FAA-approved examiner.

How much does it cost?

Many factors will affect the final cost, including the location of where you train (rural vs. urban), the type of training aircraft, your learning pace and style, even things like weather. If I had to pick a number, I would say budget at least $8,000, or even $10,000 if you plan to fly in an urban area such as the San Francisco Bay Area, where I fly. This amount includes aircraft rental, flight instruction, books, charts, examiner fees, etc. You don't need to pay this money all at once. Most flight schools operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, so the cost will be spread out over the time you are working on your license.
