Private Pilot License (PPL)

Imagine traveling twice as fast as you can drive. Imagine taking friends and family on trips, Skiing, Surfing, Golfing, Shopping. Imagine making impossible business appointments in cities far away and still making it home at night. Imagine taking off after work for a bite of the world's best Mexican food. In that quaint little diner. Two states away. Imagine just exploring the wild blue yonder.

Now, stop imagining. Get in touch with your inner pilot. Fly and be free.

Your Training

Training for a Private Pilot License consists of ground and flight instruction.

At Cindtronix, Cessna Computer Based Instruction (CBI) is utilized for ground training. This interactive course will help you learn everything necessary to become a safe and proficient pilot. CBI ensures that you know above and beyond the "minimum standard" required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Flight training takes place in the sky, where you'll learn the skills and gain experience to safely operate an airplane on your own. Your classroom will be the Cessna Skyhawk. It's a joy to fly; in fact, it's the most popular airplane ever made. But make no mistake - this Cessna definitely doesn't have training wheels. The Skyhawk comfortably carries two adults and their luggage at a pulse-quickening 140 mph.
