Frequently Asked Questions

Skill Aviation has rental rates on file. to see full pricing and a cost estimate for your Private Pilot Certificate.

Yes, Skill Aviation is approved for both Part 61 and Part 141 training. Part 141 uses a structured, FAA-approved curriculum with stage checks and lowers the minimum hours for a Private Pilot Certificate from 40 to 35. Part 61 is self-paced with no required syllabus. Ask the school which path fits your schedule.

Yes, Skill Aviation has a Designated Pilot Examiner on staff. You can schedule your checkride directly through the school instead of finding an independent examiner on your own. In many areas DPE wait times have stretched to weeks or months, so this is worth factoring in when choosing a school.

Skill Aviation's training fleet includes the Cessna 172S (Skyhawk), Cessna 172R (Skyhawk), Diamond DA20, Cessna 152, Cirrus SR22 G2, Piper PA-44-180 (Seminole), Diamond DA40, and Cessna 182RG (Skylane). Having multiple types in the fleet keeps your training on track if one plane is down for maintenance. Ask the school about current availability and any additional charges per aircraft.

No flight simulators are listed for Skill Aviation. Some schools have basic Aviation Training Devices that may not be in our database. Ask them directly.

No, Skill Aviation does not charge a fuel surcharge. The published rental rates are your actual hourly cost.
