Straight answers before you book

No. Almost anyone can learn to fly, and most students begin with no aviation background at all. A Discovery Flight is the best first step.

A Discovery Flight is an affordable, no-commitment introduction to flying. You take the controls with a Certified Flight Instructor beside you — the perfect way to experience flight before committing to training.

For a student who trains consistently, learns quickly, and meets all FAA minimum requirements on the first attempt, the private certificate typically ranges from $9,000 to $12,000. Training frequency is the biggest factor — regular lessons reduce total cost.

Most consistent students complete their private pilot certificate in about four to six months, depending on their schedule and how often they fly.

To begin training toward a private certificate you will need a simple Third Class Medical Certificate from an FAA-designated medical examiner. We can point you to local examiners.

OFA operates a three-aircraft fleet — a Cessna 150L, a Cessna 172H Skyhawk, and a Piper Cherokee. Training across both high-wing and low-wing designs makes you a more well-rounded pilot.

Oklahoma Flight Academy runs a flexible Part 61 program. That flexibility lets us tailor one-on-one training to your schedule and pace, which for most students means less time and lower total cost than a rigid program.

Beyond the Private Pilot License, we train Instrument, Commercial, and Multi-Engine ratings, plus tailwheel and high-performance endorsements.

Oklahoma Flight Academy is based in the Owasso / Tulsa area of Oklahoma. Call 918-282-6222 for directions to the field.
