Privileges
As a private pilot you’ll have the freedom to travel to any airport, with anyone, anytime you want. You will have also opened the door to more advanced licenses and ratings. Typically the next goal for most pilots is their instrument rating.

Requirements
As required by the Federal Aviation Administration here are the highlights – possessing aeronautical knowledge, becoming proficient with various flight maneuvers and procedures, accumulating at least forty hours of flight time, and passing an practical test and aeronautical knowledge test.

Cost
40 hours of flight time – $3,800
40 hours of flight and ground instruction – $1,800
Materials and supplies – $450 
FAA medical exam – $75
Taking the Knowledge exam – $90
Practical test fee – $350
TOTAL --- $6,565

How to get started
Go to the contact page for all the information on how to get you name in the schedule. At least one week in advance is suggested to get your desired times and dates.

Recommendations
Now that you're committed to getting your license, go get your medical exam out way so that if any problems come up we can handle them before your flight training begins. Also, I highly recommend you plan to fly at least two times per week. By doing so we will have more time to spend on learning new material instead of going over previously learned material during our flight lessons.

Privileges 
You will be certified and approved to fly weather conditions below those prescribed by the Visual Flight Rule requirements (AKA – flying through clouds). No more waiting for those fogged in mornings to clear up, and no more hassle getting stuck landing at an airport other then you planned on landing at just because of a few clouds. Getting an instrument rating is also proven to improve your skills, increase your safety, and build your confidence.

Requirements
50 hours of cross country (this can be done on your own without an instructor), log 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument flying time, received at least 15 hours of instruction, and pass an aeronautical knowledge test and a practical test.

Cost
40 hours of instrument time – $3,800
15 hours of instruction – $675
Materials and supplies – $200 
Taking the Knowledge exam – $90
Practical test fee – $350
TOTAL --- $5,115

Recommendations 
You will need a second class or first class medical to operate as a commercial pilot. I recommend that you get a first or second class medical prior to flight training. Also, plan on flying two time per week, it’s the most economical for several of reasons.
