What Is The Training Like?

Contrary to popular belief, learning to fly is not as hard as it seems. Our experienced instructors offer customized, individualized lessons on the ground and in the air.

We also offer ground instruction classes to learn all the essential information. Or if you choose to do so, you may use a home study course to save on-ground lessons. To learn more about how you can learn at home.

How Much Does It Cost?

Learning to fly may seem like a huge financial commitment, but the final outcome as an airline pilot makes the cost of training well worth it.

Becoming a Private Pilot typically costs around $10k or less (depending on how often you train and how much time you commit to studying). You will NOT need to pay any significant amount upfront. You pay as you go.

We also offer financing for flight training! The training is very flexible and we can adjust your training plan to fit your budget.

I wouldn’t be an airline pilot without this flight school.

I did my private, instrument, and commercial with Pilot Rise. I wish I would’ve found them sooner. Could’ve saved me a lot of headaches, money, and restarts.

Amazing flight school with a great instructor who knows his stuff. Start out with a introduction to flight to get comfortable in the airplane you're flying in! If you decide to go forward, you won't be disappointed, Michael has a great system design to help meet goals that you set.
