How much does Pilot Training System cost?

Our Professional Pilot Certification courses that are offered at partner colleges across the US are very similar in price but differ slightly by location. Costs can be found on each Professional Pilot Certification program website about half way down the page, or contact us at info@PilotTrainingSystem.com to learn more.

 

Our eLearning courses for Private Pilot and Commercial Drone Pilot training are completely FREE.

​

Why is Pilot Training System FREE?

We want to lower the barrier to entry for people to become licensed pilots because flight training is already expensive. The industry needs so many pilots, so our eLearning courses for Private Pilot and Commercial Drone Pilot training are FREE.

​

How does Pilot Training System compare to other online flight training / eLearning?​

The course content is generally the same as comparable Private Pilot and Commercial Drone Pilot courses because the educational subject-matter is mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under FAR Parts 61 and 107 for Private Pilot and Commercial Drone Pilot training, respectively. Paid systems may look fancier, but Pilot Training System is the same FAA-published training materials that our for-cost competitors offer for hundreds of dollars, but learning to fly is the same. Ours is FREE. Enjoy.

​

What is the FAA course content that Pilot Training System uses?​

Pilot Training System was built from the FAA's Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge(PHAK) for Private Pilots and the Remote Pilot - Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Study Guide for Commercial Drone Pilots. The PHAK was used to create videos, quizzes and practice exams. User-centered grading helps students learn from wrong answers, and our learning management system tracks student progress.

​

How do I pass the Pilot Training Systems courses?

To pass either the Private Pilot course or the Commercial Drone Pilot course and earn your course-completion certificate and FAA endorsement (update coming soon), you must pass each quiz and practice exam with a score 90% or better. Green checkmarks in "View My Progress" show each lesson that has been passed with a 90% or better. After all of the red Xs become green checkmarks, you're ready to take the FAA exam.
