Private Pilot Program


private pilot package

Welcome to Mactan-Cebu Aero Flying School!

The adventure of flying begins with your private pilot's license. With this license you can venture out into the world of aviation. Whether you plan to fly for fun, give rides to friends and family, provide yourself with transportation, or simply build time and experience for future ratings, all of these begin with a Private Pilot License.

While achieving the private pilot license, you will receive instruction on the basic operations of an airplane. Although some people try to finish much of the ground training before they start flying, we feel that the best approach is to integrate the ground training with the flight training. You will be on the cockpit from day one getting hands-on grasp to have that practical experience about the airplane and its paraphernalia. Ground training will cover diverse topics such as airport operations, radio procedures, weather, navigation, and more.

The first major goal for any aspirants is to fly the airplane alone. During your solo flight training you will learn maneuvers such as emergency procedures, (cancel and ..and put comma) takeoffs and landings, as well as how to operate safely at a tower-controlled air port. The first solo flight is an experience that can never forgotten. After solo, you will move onto more advanced lessons covering areas such as night and cross-country flying.

During the final stage of training, you will sharpen and polish your skills in preparation for the practical examination (check ride) to be conducted by a designated examiner from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). Upon successful completion of the practical examination, you will be issued with a Private Pilot License. The CAAP minimum time requirement for a Private Pilot License is 40 hours of flight training
