STEP #1

Pick A School

The first step is to pick a flight school. Picking the right school will affect the cost and time it takes to obtain your pilots license. A good flight school will have student focused flight instructors, thorough pilot curriculums, and dedication to goal execution. At US Flight Co it’s simple: Use proven techniques, create a game plan, and execute.

STEP #2

Take A Discovery Flight and Check Out The School

Take a short flight, see what it’s like. More importantly check out the school, and the flight instructors. Ask what kind of curriculum the school uses. Ask how much the estimated cost will be for a private pilots license. Reflect on the discovery flight. Did the school layout a pathway to sucess? How comfortable did you feel?

STEP #3

Make a Plan & EXECUTE

Make a plan that includes your budget, and a completion goal. Choose the flight school you feel most comfortable with (reflect on discovery flight experience). Looking for more information on what it takes to get your license? Grab our free private pilot guide. It lays out the entire process and includes some critical information.
