Aero Elite Flight Training offers a full range of pilot training programs in Manassas, Leesburg, Winchester, and Norfolk. If you’re new to flying, Aero Elite will take you step-by-step, guiding you through your Private Pilot License (PPL) training with on-the-ground lessons, knowledge tests, flights, and simulator use. After the required hours of air time with a pilot at your side, you can eventually take a flight test.
The course includes 40 hours of flight instruction and solo flight time aligned with your schedule. For most students, lessons are about two hours each, two to three times per week. PPL training costs hover around $15,000.
Once you have a PPL license, you can advance to the next level with an Instrument Rating Course that costs approximately $8,000. If you want to become a commercial pilot with the potential to earn money flying, you can then advance to Multi-Engine Training.
For a Commercial Pilot License, you’ll complete 250 additional hours of flight time and more practice. Pricing for the Commercial Pilot License, Tailwind Endorsement, or Flight Instructor training is available on request. Aero Elite partners with the Meritize Platform for loan options so you can start their lessons.
Try an affordable $200 Discovery Flight (30 minutes prep and 30 minutes air time) for your first thrilling experience flying a Cessna or Piper Archer aircraft. This is the same aircraft that you’ll use to fly during pilot training.
