Flight School FAQs  Flight Academy  What is involved in learning
to fly at KCAC?  Learning to fly requires study and practice,
and most eager students can fulfill their dream of flight. The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires a minimum of 40
hours of training (20 hours with an instructor, 10 solo hours
and 10 additional flight training hours) to earn a private pilot
certificate, but plan on 50-60 hours to perfect your skills and
confidence.  Everyone learns at a different pace and the number
of times you fly in a given week is a big factor in determining
that pace. You'll learn quicker if you fly every day because you
won't have to "relearn" what you "forgot" between lessons. If
you fly every day, you could possibly earn your certificate in
about a month. If you can only fly 2-3 times per week, it may
take you six months to earn your private pilot’s license.  When
will I actually begin flying?  You'll be flying on your first
lesson, with your Certified Flight Instructor’s (CFI) help, of
course. Wit
