Whether you want to be a weekend flyer, or prepare for a new career, this is where we all begin. The Private Pilot Certificate is the foundation for all of your adventures in aviation. This Certificate can be earned in any of our aircraft, but in order to make your training successful and efficient we typically stick to our single engine trainers, the sleek and modern Diamond DA-20, the glass cockpit DA-40, or the reliable and trusted Cessna 172.
