A couple of students would disappear for a couple of months due to work and family obligations, and the took longest of all. It took me less than a month to get my Private Pilot Certificate, because I went to the airport every day, 7 days a week. I had my Commercial in less than a year. However, a Commercial Cert, is not an end-all-do-all; it is severely restricted.
Your actual flight time required, and the resulting cost of training, are dependent on your abilities, frequency of flight lessons, and the weather. Our experience shows that the average student needs about six months and 55 to 65 flight hours to complete training and earn their private pilot certificate. Once you have taken a medical examination and received an FAA medical certificate you are ready to begin your training and preparation for solo flight.
