Comprehensive Private Pilot Program at Van Nuys Airport

The Comprehensive Private Pilot Program gives you the same FAA Private Pilot Certificate as our Standard program — with extra flight hours and instruction built in. It's the smart choice if you'd rather train at a relaxed pace, fly a little less frequently, or simply want more cushion so you reach your checkride feeling completely ready, with no out-of-pocket surprises along the way.

Every student learns at their own pace. The Comprehensive package is designed for the real world — building in additional flight time and instructor hours beyond the FAA minimums so that a few extra lessons, a weather week, or a busy schedule never derails your budget or your progress.

Standard vs. Comprehensive — what's different

What you'll achieve

You'll earn your FAA Private Pilot Certificate with extra hours of practice behind you, deeper proficiency in modern avionics, and the confidence that comes from thorough, unrushed preparation — a strong foundation for an Instrument Rating or a professional path later.
