Learn To Fly!

Patton Aviation will provide full & comprehensive lessons that build upon each other. We believe that lessons should be written in a way that even the students with no aviation background can achieve their dream of getting a pilot's certificate. We understand that each student learns differently and that a good flight school should adapt to every student way of learning. We will adapt and create lessons tailored to each individual student.

Individuals seeking a private pilot certificate must obtain at least a third-class medical certificate before they solo. The FAA Medical Examination is a routine exam administered by FAA designated doctors called aviation medical examiners (AMEs), who will issue your medical certificate after the exam.

Even if you have a physical handicap, medical certificates can be issued in many cases. Operating limitations may be imposed depending upon the nature of the disability.

Getting a student pilot certificate is one of the first steps toward becoming a private pilot. This certificate must be obtained before you are allowed to fly solo. You must complete an application through the Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA) website or by paper using FAA form 8710-1. Your flight instructor and Patton Aviation will guide you through the whole process. The process itself is straight forward and easy.

The overall time of obtaining  your first certificate (Private Pilot) will vary from person to person mainly because a student pilot can only obtain a certificate upon demonstrating their complete proficiency in the operation of an aircraft, as well as book knowledge.

Time to wrap up all your skills and knowledge that you have polished and aquired through practice and studying.  At this time you will have all 4 milestones you need to complete your Private Pilot Certificate.
