Private Pilot
Instrument Pilot
Commercial Pilot
Are you looking to take your friends and family flying to Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the like? As a Private Pilot, you can take others with you for pleasure, not for hire. Roughly 4-6 months of training on average.
The next step in your training after Private Pilot is the Instrument Rating. With your Instrument Rating you are allowed to fly on days when the weather "isn't so great". This training is required to become an airline pilot.
Ready for the "heavy metal"? At Fly Upwind, we can provide you the necessary training to become a Commercial Pilot. This license will allow you to become a charter pilot, or put you on a path to build time for the airlines.
So where do I begin?
The first place to start is with an "introductory flight lesson". This is a one-on-one ground and flight lesson with one of our instructors to "show you the ropes". And yes... you are at the controls on day-one.
How much does it cost?
At Fly Upwind, we only bill you for the time that you are actively engaged with the instructor, either on the ground or in the air. A good budget per flying lesson varies between $145.00-$210.00 depending on what we are working on with that given lesson.
We do more than just flight instruction...
