Earn your Private Pilot License with Parrillo Air Services. Personalized flight instruction, experienced instructors, and flexible scheduling built around your life.
Under FAA Part 61, the private pilot certificate requires a minimum of 40 flight hours — though most students finish with more depending on frequency and consistency.
Learn aerodynamics, weather, regulations, navigation, and aircraft systems, then pass the FAA knowledge test.
Fly with an instructor through the required maneuvers, then complete your first solo and solo cross-country flights.
Complete the FAA practical test with a designated examiner — an oral exam followed by a flight test to ACS standards.
Fly friends and family, build experience, and rent aircraft nationwide.
Our Part 61 Private Pilot training transfers into Liberty University's Part 141 Flight Programs for 12 academic credits, counting as 4 classes on the Degree Completion Plan.
Start flying sooner, get ahead on classes, and potentially graduate earlier — all while preserving your 1,000-hour R-ATP eligibility.
