At Tailwinds Aviation Academy, our goal is to provide the best learning environment for our students as possible. We remember what it was like to be a student, and we want your experience to be flight levels above ours. That’s why we keep our programs simple, efficient, and valuable. Instead of spending months or years a few short hours at a time getting your certificate with inexperienced, airline-bound instructors, we offer daily one on one flight training with experienced career CFIs who truly have your best interest at heart. Unlike most flight schools, our programs and pricing are transparent and inclusive. At TAA, your success is the objective.

Hate surprises? At TAA, you’ll have everything you’ll need to succeed from day one. Our 21 Day Private Pilot Program includes:

21 Full Days of One on One Professional Flight and Ground Instruction

45 Hours Flight Time

UNLIMITED Use of our state of the art, FAA Approved Flight Simulator

Written Testing Fees Included

Practical Exam (Checkride) Fee Included

iPad with ForeFlight EFB subscription (1 year)

Aviation Headset

Complete Package Price: $22,999

Our 21 Day Private Pilot program only requires an FAA medical and proof of citizenship (or TSA approval if Non-U.S. citizen). While you are here you will prepare for and take your written exam and work to complete all other requirements and flight training to receive your private pilot certificate.

It never hurts to study before arriving, but no classes prior to your time with us are required. That being said, we recommend Kings Schools or Sporty’s as good online ground schools in preparation for your time with us.
