How long does it take to earn a Pilot's license?
This is a tricky question to answer due to many variables. Each student pilot learns at a different pace, and progress and retention is largely based on how frequently the student flies. Flight time, ground lessons, and personal study all contribute to the timeline. If a student flies 3 times a week and is dedicated to studying the material, a reasonable timeline to earn a Private Pilot’s license can be 3 to 4 months. Learn more
How much does it cost to earn a Pilot's license?
Total cost can vary widely based on a student’s learning pace and availability. There’s also a wide range of hourly rates for different aircraft types. At Chandler Air Service, Private training is done in a Piper Archer, and you can expect the total to reach about $14,500 dollars from start to finish. Unlike many flight schools, we do not charge this up front. All lessons are pay-as-you-go at your own pace. Learn more about our flight training programs
