The process of learning how to fly may seem overwhelming at first. But, with
a little guidance, you will see how easy it is to get started on this very
rewarding endeavor. We have developed this site to get you started and help
you along the way.
One of the first things always asked is how much does it cost to get a pilot’s
license. The costs of flight training will be covered in the following pages.
You will see just how affordable learning to fly can be! And, unlike some
“certificate mills” we will show you the actual average costs, not just those
based on FAA minimums.
Our philosophy is to train safe, competent pilots. Our professional instructors
believe that the FAA minimums are just that, MINIMUMS. The training you
receive here will prepare you to be a very good pilot, not just one trained to the
minimum standards.
Benefits of a Pilot Certificate
Have you ever dreamed of soaring through the air? For most people this is
only a fantasy. But as a pilot, you will join an elite group that calls the sky their
home. Once you experience the thrill of flying, you will be hooked for life.
Whenever a plane flies by, you WILL look skyward and long to be there.
Having your head in the clouds will take on a whole new meaning.
Whether you want to take up flying as a career, to further your current
business, or just for easier travel, adventure, and fun, getting your initial pilot
certificate is your first step. Whether you earn the newly created sport pilot
certificate, or the more flexible private pilot certificate, you will have many
privileges.
The Well-Rounded Pilot
At Northwoods you will have opportunities to learn skills that are rarely taught
anywhere else. We offer training in tailwheel aircraft that will greatly benefit
you even if you only fly tricycle gear airplanes. You can also fly ski-equipped
airplanes in the winter and floatplanes in the summer. All of this at one
training facility makes Northwoods a very special place to learn to fly!
