AlphaFlight is the premiere aviation school to help you become the safest and most proficient private pilot.

Freedom to Choose
Avoid the slow-winding airport lines and get yourself to your destination with a Private Pilot’s License (PPL)! Earning your PPL gives you the freedom to whisk yourself – and family and
friends – off for a quick weekend getaway. Heading to a meeting out of town? Get there faster by renting a plane or even flying your own aircraft.
Looking for a career in aviation? Earning your PPL is the first step. We invite you to discover the AlphaFlight difference.
Reach for the Horizon with an Instrument Rating
Having your Private Pilot’s License means you can fly in optimal weather conditions or under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). But why stop there? For greater flexibility in flying conditions, you can enhance your pilot skills by obtaining your Instrument Rating. The added Instrument Rating allows you to fly in low visibility conditions – known as Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) – and navigate busy and congested airspace better. From there you can take your training to the next level to become a Career Pilot.
Think of your PPL as the gateway toward realizing your dream of flying for fun or even becoming a Career Pilot or a Commercial Pilot. Either way it’s a passion that can only be enjoyed in the sky and one of the most rewarding decisions that lasts a lifetime.
Q & A.
A Private Pilot’s License covers flying for personal and recreational use. Your license allows you to fly yourself and those closest to you at no cost. Your passengers cannot pay you to fly, but they are allowed to share in the costs.
There are several factors that could influence the length of time it takes you to earn your Private Pilot’s License. You are required to have a demonstrated proficiency of flight and knowledge application to pass an FAA checkride. As a Part 141 Flight School, the FAA requires a minimum of 35 flight hours. However, the national average for a new student to become proficient is between 50 to 60 flight hours. We offer a structured flight training environment and instructional mentors to help you succeed.
