Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to earn a Private Pilot Certificate?

The FAA requires a minimum of 40 flight hours for a Private Pilot Certificate, though the national average is closer to 60–70 hours. Your timeline depends on how frequently you train and your individual progress. Gibson Air works with you to build a schedule that keeps your training on track.
