Less than
one percent of the U.S. population holds a Private Pilot Certificate.
You have just taken the first step towards joining one of the most elite
groups of individuals in this country...Training to become a Private
Pilot will challenge you mentally, physically and emotionally. Zone
Aviations experienced flight instructors, state of the art "glass
cockpit" Cessna 172SP Skyhawks and our Cessna/King Schools
multimedia training program will allow you to join this elite group with
confidence. Be assured you will develop your skills in new Cessna
aircraft and use the most advanced training system available.
As the only Cessna Pilot Center(CPC) in northeast Ohio we are able to
offer our students the most advanced private pilot training.
Our use of the Cessna multimedia Private Pilot Training System, "Cleared
For Takeoff" makes sure you are ready for every flight lesson.
This system combines your
flight training and ground school into a integrated series of lessons
and labs.
Before each flight you will see
a video demonstration of everything you will do in the air with your
instructor.
Because your ground school and
flight lessons are paired together in a logical manner, you will learn
quicker, retain more information, and always be prepared for your next
flight lesson.
This ground-breaking multimedia
system uses video, animation, graphic effects and a little humor to
guide you through the process of skill development and knowledge
required of a private pilot.
How long will it take to get my Private Pilot Certificate?
The FAA requires a minimum of 40
hours of flight training to be eligible for certification. The time
required can be as little as several weeks if you enroll in our accelerated
training program but whether it's weeks or months is up to you. Immerse
yourself in flight instruction several times a week or spread it out
over several months, the choice is yours.
What are the steps to get my certificate?
Prepare for the written
test. From the first flight with your instructor you'll need to
study along the way in preparation for your written exam which is
usually taken towards the end of you flight training.
Dual Instruction.
The majority of the hours flown in the beginning will be with a
certified FAA flight instructor. During this time you will be introduced
to maneuvers and skills required to develop into a proficient pilot.
Acquire a FAA medical
certificate. Before you may engage in solo flight
training you must obtain at least a Third Class Medical Certificate
issued by an FAA designated medical examiner.
Solo Flight Training. When
you are ready... Your instructor will set you free to make your first
solo flight. During this phase of flight training you will go out on
your own and fine tune your skills. During this period you will build
the confidence necessary to become a proficient pilot. You will remember
that first solo for the rest of your life!
Cross Country Flight. Not
as daunting as it sounds, but you will, with the supervision of your
instructor, travel solo from your home airport to one or more airports
and back home. These exercises will ensure your ability to fly and
navigate safely.
Oral and Practical Test.
Once you meet all the flight training requirements and you instructor
believes you are proficient... you are ready for you "checkride". This
check ride is composed of a oral examination and a hands-on flight in
the aircraft with an FAA designated examiner. The check ride examines
your knowledge, practices and proficiency at the contols of the
aircraft.
How Much Will it Cost?
The FAA has a set of minimums required to gain a Private Pilot certificate. We have found that most students will require slightly more training than the minimum requirements. The tables below will approximate the cost of a private pilot certificate at the FAA minimums, and at an average that we at Zone Aviation have found to be accurate.
What other expenses WIll I Have?
There will be other miscellaneous expenses associated with flight training. The largest additional expense you can expect is the cost to buy a pilot's headset. A basic headset can be bought for around 150 dollars, with the most advanced headsets available costing nearly 1000 dollars. If you are unsure of what type you need, your instructor would be glad to assist you. You should also plan on spending some additional money on books, reference materials, and other supplies.
What type of aircraft
will I fly?
