Private Pilot Training
At WindSock Aviation You receive the benefit of personal attention as well as certain scheduling flexibility. We offer individual instruction for busy working professionals who require lessons at specific times.
Earning your Private Pilot’s License with Wind Sock Aviation is a great way to fly for fun on the weekends or whenever you want! Schedule a flight and act as pilot in command of one of our flight school airplanes or your own personal airplane whenever you are ready for an adventure. Take your friends or family along for a scenic flight and explore the country from the air!
The definition of a Private Pilot is someone who flies for pleasure or personal business purposes. This means that you can be in command of an airplane for any non-commercial venture that you hold a rating for, like a Cessna 150, for example. One advantage of earning your Private Pilot’s License is that you may fly anytime you want, day or night, regulations permitting, and as long as the weather conditions allow you to fly by VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and skipping those commercial airliners. Another benefit if being able to fly with passengers. What better way to share the miracle of flight than to experience it with family or friends!
