2 Hours of Flight Instruction

jgpatron · April 22nd, 2008, 02:01

Hello, I am new here, I would like to ask how to complete this prerequisite for the PPL + the Pilot Career Program:

- 2 Hours of Flight Instruction in Any Aircraft Within the Last 6 Months

I asked in some flight schools here at PHX and they didnt know how to answer me...

Thanks

2 or 3 flying lessons, counting your introductory flight, should be enough.

They just want to make sure you have some experience in a light aircraft so you know that this is what you want (and that you won't get sick doing it). Any FBO should be able to take you up for a flight or two and satisfy this "requirement." It's the same with making you get a 1st class medical...it's not actually required for the training, but they want you to make sure you can get it before spending all that money. The 2 hour rule isn't hard and fast (from what I hear) but it's a good idea.

So you seriously called some flight schools about gedtting 2 hours of flight instruction and they didnt know what that meant?

The 2 hours is to make sure you have the stomach for this. Now if you will get sick of it or not, well you may not know that until you have 500 hours under your belt...

They told me is illogical to teach somebody that is not in the program with them. Should I just pay two 1 hour discovery flights in 2 different flight schools?

Crockrocket94 · April 25th, 2008, 06:16

You are a customer, I am sure they will gladly take you up for a 2 hour flight.

I would.

Just let them know what you want and how long you want the flight to be.

Make it one big flight or 2 1 hour flights. I suggest the latter.

Well hell, I might just have to come out there and fly that thing...looks like a nice plane!

But, ya, for the OP...any normal FBO should be happy to give you any amount of instruction (and take your money for it)!

Come to Miami, I'll get you checked out in the G1000 C172 we have or fly you in the Seminole and give you a primer on how ATP teaches the seminole straight out of the training supplement and checklist.

Wow. Around this area most schools charge between 75-95 wet for a 172, with 25 an hour for the instructor. Didn't realize prices were that high around the country. My apologies to SIUav8er

Last week. I've been paying for my sons private, and that's been the going rate for awhile now.

Sled14 · May 5th, 2008, 20:32

Wow, those are really good prices. Around here a 172 is $114 wet and instructor $47 an hour.
