Get Your Private Pilot License
With a Private Pilot certificate, you’ll be able to fly any appropriate aircraft within the US, day or night and with or without passengers.
Our Cirrus Standardized training features interactive instructional materials that ensure you’ll acquire the same critical decision-making skills and proficiency as taught in major professional pilot programs.
Our program generally includes 150 hours of hands-on training to ensure your safety and success.
What's so special about Cirrus Standardized training?
Our structured Cirrus scenario-based syllabi and modern, interactive instructional materials ensure that you’ll acquire the same critical decision-making skills and proficiency that professional airline pilots have.
That said, some of the most prestigious pilot training programs including the Air Force Academy, UND, Purdue, and some legacy airlines, all start their zero time cadets in Cirrus’s. If they’ve taken to the Cirrus platform for initial training, why shouldn’t you?
So how long will it take?
The national average to earn a Private License is from 65-70 hours of flight time with an additional 20 hours of dedicated ground instruction though most schools quote the unrealistic FAA minimums of 40 hours. Through CalAir’s structured, scenario-based training, your dedicated Training Center Instructor Pilot will work alongside you to achieve your goal within this time frame. While there are extenuating factors that may impact this duration, the averages tend to hold true when the student pilot makes the appropriate effort.
