PRIVATE PILOT COURSE
The private pilot certificate (much like a driver’s license) is the first step for those interested in learning to fly. Private pilot training can be fun and challenging. New pilots must learn a wide variety of skills starting with acclimating their inner ear to teach the brain that you are now living in a three dimensional world. As a private pilot you will be able to fly an airplane and carry passengers (but not for hire). At Tex Air America we are focused on individualized attention and student success. Students will receive highly customized training by friendly and experienced professionals.
