Private Pilot Certification Course for
Airplane Single Engine Land.
This is our entry-level pilot program.
A private pilot rating allows you to fly
under visual flight rules (VFR). Under VFR,
the weather must be sufficient to allow
the pilot to visually navigate the aircraft
and to visually maintain separation with
obstacles such as the ground and other aircraft.
Your training will take place both in the
air and on the ground. Passing both a written
(70%) and practical test (to FAA Practical
Test Standards) is required.
(Please note that following costs are an ESTIMATE
only based on the minimum hours required for that particular
rating or endorsement. Costs may vary depending on individual
needs, type of aircraft flown and actual number of flight hours)

Instrument Training
An instrument rating is an advanced rating
that certifies that you are qualified to
operate an aircraft when the weather is
insufficient to permit flying under VFR
conditions. Under Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR), you will learn to navigate and control
an airplane using instruments only. An instrument
rating improves your flying skills and allows
you greater flexibility. A pilot who is
"instrument qualified" is more
prepared if and when weather conditions
deteriorate. The instrument pilot will be
able to safely and legally fly through conditions
of low cloud cover and low visibility.
To obtain this rating, you must have
a total of 125 hours of pilot experience
and 40 hours of instrument instruction.
Up to 20 hours may be accomplished in our
simulator (which will save you money). Passing
both a written (70%) and practical test
(to FAA Practical Test Standards) is required.

Commercial Pilot Training
Journeys Aviation™ offers training for commercial
pilots. Commercial pilots are those that
can fly for compensation or hire. Normally,
holding a commercial certificate will lower
a pilot's insurance premium. To exercise
the full privileges of a commercial pilot,
you must have an instrument rating, be at
least 18 years old, hold a Class II medical
certificate, and:
a) under Part 61 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations, have a minimum of 250 hours
of flying time, including 20 hours of training
with an instructor, 10 hours of solo flight
, and several cross-country and night flights;
or
Passing both a written (70%) and practical

Certified Flight Instructor Training
Journeys Aviation™ offers Flight Instructor Certification
courses. To give instruction in any aircraft,
you must be a Certified Flight Instructor
(CFI). To obtain this certification, you

or airline transport certificate with an
instrument rating, and log at least 15 hours
as pilot in command in the category and
class of aircraft of the particular rating
sought.

Multi-Engine Training
The multiengine rating allows a pilot
to fly aircraft with two or more engines.
If you aspire to work for an airline, a
corporation, or a charter company, you will
need a multiengine rating. To earn this
rating, you must take instructions from
an appropriately certified instructor. There
is no hourly requirement or a written examination,
but there is a practical test (to FAA Practical
Test Standards). Either a private or commercial
certificate is a prerequisite.

- 15 hours Dual Flight Training Piper Seminole @ $247/hr
$3,705
- 5 hours of Ground Instruction @ $45/hr $225
- Course materials and text books $125

Complex Endorsement Training
A complex endorsement authorizes a pilot
to fly an aircraft with retractable landing
gear and with a constant speed propeller.
To receive a complex endorsement, a pilot
may take the appropriate lessons with a
Journeys Aviation™ Flight Instructor and will receive
a one-time endorsement in his or her logbook
certifying the successful completion of
training. There is no hourly requirement,
written examination, or FAA checkride. You
may hold either a private or commercial
certificate to receive this endorsement.
We currently offer complex training in a
Piper Arrow or a Cessna 172RG.

flying including ridge crossing and emergency
planning, canyon flying, mountain navigation,
and emergency procedures. In order to complete
the course, the student must also complete
