The Private Pilot Certificate (PPL) is the first stop into the world of aviation. It is similar to earning your Driver’s license.

At Sky Safety, we offer three types of private ground schools to accommodate student's different learning styles, which allows you to choose from a traditional classroom style study, completely online study or hybrid ground school.
Tuition and Additional Costs
Training tuition of private pilot course is around $12,900, which is estimated based on an ambitious, full-time student using Cessna 172 aircraft. Besides flight training portion, additional costs may include pilot supplies(headset, books, etc.) and exams. Please prepare $900-$1500 for these additional items. Please also keep in mind that the flight training cost is estimated based on average hours of a frequently flying student. Actual cost may vary depends on student performance.
