If you’re close to earning your Private Pilot Certificate but struggling to reach the finish line, our Private Pilot Finish-Up Program is designed to help you complete training efficiently, confidently, and without unnecessary delays.
This is an accelerated, instructor-led program for motivated pilots who already have foundational training completed and are ready for structured, high-intensity preparation.
To enroll, students must have all of the following completed prior to arrival:
✔️ A minimum of 10 hours of flight instruction already received
✔️ FAA Medical Certificate or BasicMed qualification
(Not required if pursuing a Sport Pilot Certificate)
✔️ FAA Private Pilot Knowledge (Written) Test completed
These prerequisites ensure we can focus your time on skill refinement, proficiency, and checkride readiness—not initial instruction.
✔️ Up to 5 full days of focused flight and ground instruction
✔️ Dedicated instructor time tailored to your experience level
✔️ Personalized training plan based on your logbook and proficiency
✔️ Comprehensive checkride preparation
✔️ Coordination with trusted local DPEs to support a smooth checkride process
To keep pricing transparent and flexible, the following costs are not included in the program fee:
✖️ Aircraft rental
✖️ Housing
✖️ DPE / examiner fees
(These expenses vary by aircraft, housing preference, and examiner availability and are paid separately.)
Many students complete the program within 5 days, but total duration depends on:
• Current proficiency
• Weather conditions
• Individual learning pace
• Checkride availability
If additional time is required:
Additional training days are available at $750 per day.
We will communicate clearly and recommend only the training necessary to ensure you are genuinely checkride-ready.
This program is a strong fit if you:
• Have already started Private Pilot training
• Have passed the FAA written exam
• Can commit to daily, focused flying
• Want a structured path to the checkride
If you are earlier in training or missing prerequisites, we’re happy to discuss alternative options or help you prepare for a future Finish-Up slot.
We don’t rush students into checkrides—and we don’t pad training time.
Our mission is simple:
Prepare you to pass your checkride confidently, safely, and without surprises.
