LEARN TO FLY
Getting a pilot's license:
Most members earn their private pilot's license within months. Some complete the process in as little as six weeks.

Requirements for a pilot's license: Be at least 16 to fly solo and 17 to obtain a private pilot's license.

Pass a FAA class III medical exam, a written exam and flight test. FAA minimum flight of 40 hours. Have at least 20 hours of dual instruction and at least 10 solo hours.

In addition to initial flight instruction the Flying Activity will help you pursue other advanced ratings such as instrument training or convert from rotary wing to fixed wing in about 20 hours.
