The path

The license is real. So is the path.

  1. Discovery flight

    You take the controls with a Certified Flight Instructor beside you. Most people know within the hour.

  2. First solo

    Usually within 15–25 hours — the flight every pilot remembers for the rest of their life.

  3. Cross-country

    Real trips to real airports across Green Country. Navigation, radio work, and the freedom starts to feel real.

  4. Checkride

    Your FAA practical exam. Pass it and the certificate in your hand is valid for life.

Honest, upfront pricing

$120–$270/hr

AeroTech keeps rates transparent. Aircraft rent wet (fuel included) from $120/hr for the Cessna 152 up to $270/hr for the twin Piper Seneca II, instruction added at an honest hourly rate — and a Discovery Flight starts at just $65. How often you fly is the biggest factor in your total cost.

Not sure which path is yours?

Five questions match your goal, schedule, and budget to the right starting point — before AeroTech ever calls you.

Good questions

Answered straight, before you ask.

Do I need any experience to start flight training?

No. Almost anyone can learn to fly, and most AeroTech students begin with no aviation background at all. The discovery flight is built for first-timers, and your instructor handles everything you haven’t learned yet.

How long does it take to earn a private pilot certificate?

Most consistent students finish in about four to six months. The FAA minimum is 40 flight hours; how often you fly is the biggest factor in your timeline and cost.

Can I train while working a full-time job?

Yes — our flexible Part 61 program schedules one-on-one lessons around your availability, evenings and weekends included. That flexibility is exactly why students finish.

How much does flight training cost?

AeroTech keeps rates transparent. Aircraft rent wet (fuel included) from $120/hr for the Cessna 152 up to $270/hr for the twin Piper Seneca II, with instruction added at an honest hourly rate. Your total depends most on how often you fly — we build a custom quote around your goals, no packages, no surprises.
