Private Pilot License
A Private Pilot's License (PPL) allows a pilot to fly a single-engine airplane and carry passengers (as long as they are not paid for doing so). The training involves approximately 40-45 hours of flight time and about the same amount of time in ground instructions, briefings, and exam time. The typical student can fly solo within 10-12 hours of flight training and can finish the program in as little as four weeks. We can also train working students outside of work hours and/or on weekends in about 5-10 weeks. CTI has been granted self examining authority by the FAA, so you can take your flight exams at the school with our staff .
Commercial Pilot License
A Commercial Pilot License (CPL), is a qualification that permits the holder to act as a pilot of an aircraft and be paid for his/her work. Aviation as a career can both lucrative and rewarding. Captains of large jet aircraft earn an average of $262 per hour and have opportunities to travel all over the world.
CTI offers Commercial Pilot programs for college students, international students, veterans, and even those right out of high school. The program involves approximately 200-220 flight hours and can be achieved in as little as 6 months at CTI. Our typical Commercial Pilot students invest about $55,000-70,000 on flight training and progress quickly into a promising career.
