Courses
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.
COURSE HOURS AND PRICE: MINIMUM
- 30 Hrs C-152 instruction: $2910.00
- 10 Hrs C-152 solo practice: $600.00
- 10 Hrs ground instruction: $370.00
- Journeys Aviation™ Deluxe Private Course
Package, course texts, flight bag and materials

Approximate Course Price: $4254.00.
Please note that individual costs may
vary, depending upon the type of aircraft
you fly and your actual number of flight
hours. The national average for flight hours
required to obtain a private license is
between 60 and 70.
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.
COURSE HOURS AND PRICE: MINIMUM
- 35 Hrs C-172 instruction: $4235.00

Please note that individual costs may
vary, depending upon the type of aircraft
you fly and your actual number of flight
hours. If the Instrument Rating is completed
under Part 61 five additional hours of dual
instruction are required and 50 hours of
cross-country flight must have been logged.
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
b) under Part 141, have a minimum of
120 hours of flying time including 55 hours
with an instructor, 10 hours of solo flight,
and several cross-country and night flights.
Passing both a written (70%) and practical
test (to FAA Practical Test Standards) is
required.

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

an appropriately certified instructor. There
is no hourly requirement or a written examination,

Test Standards). Either a private or commercial
certificate is a prerequisite.

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™ 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.
TRAINING HOURS AND PRICE: MINIMUM
- 10 Hrs 172RG instruction: $1320.00
- 5 Hrs ground instruction: $210.00
- Club dues for one months: $35
