The path

## From your first flight to your certificate.

### 1. Discovery flight

A real first lesson in a modern airplane, logged toward your certificate.

### 2. Plan your schedule

Pick a training pace that fits your life. Two or three lessons a week is ideal.

### 3. Train with your CFI

Hands-on Part 61 lessons with a structured syllabus and progress you can see in the member portal.

### 4. Solo and checkride

Stage checks keep you on track toward your first solo and your FAA practical test.

Honest expectations

## What training really takes.

### Time

The FAA minimum is 40 hours; most students take more. Flying often is the biggest factor, and weather or maintenance will sometimes move a lesson. Realistic timelines (https://a4flight.com/how-long-to-become-a-pilot)

### Cost

Rates are published, and you are billed for what you fly. Build your own estimate (https://a4flight.com/pilot-license-cost-texas)
