PRIVATE PILOT
A practical path, one skill at a time.
The Private Pilot certificate is the starting point for recreational flying and the foundation for advanced ratings or a professional aviation path.

Learn the plane
Begin with aircraft control, airport operations, radio communication, weather awareness, and sound decision-making. Lessons pair ground knowledge with practical flying from KPCZ.
02
Fly solo and cross-country
As proficiency grows, your instructor prepares you for supervised solo flight, navigation, night experience, and cross-country operations required by the training rules.
03
Prepare for the
practical test
Training culminates in the aeronautical knowledge test, instructor endorsement, and a practical test with an FAA-designated examiner when you meet the standards.
