Learning to fly will be one of the greatest adventures of your life. The Private Pilot certificate will open a new world full of adventures that are not accessible any other way. With a pilot certificate you will find just how easy it is easy to travel across the state and be able to return the same day.
At Leading Edge Aviation you will train under the guidance of highly knowledgable instructors in modern and well maintained aircraft. We take pride in providing high quality instruction and providing aircraft that will not be affected by maintenance issues so that you can fly according to your schedule.
Earning your Private Pilot Certificate requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight time, 10 of which must be solo hours.
