** This course is conducted under FAR part 141, and exceeds FAA minimum requirements. Cost estimates are estimated and are based on PFT historical averages. Although it is designed for the pilot with zero flying experience, credit may be available for those with previous flying experience. Also credit may be given under FAR part 61. This is evaluated on a case by case basis. Previous flying experience can significantly reduce course costs and time needed for completion. At course completion, the pilot will hold an FAA Commercial pilot certificate, single and multi engine land with instrument rating. This course includes jet transition training.
