Aviation Time Building Course
A structured course rather than an open rental account — planned routes, tracked categories, and a finish date you can actually schedule around.
Why a Course Beats an Open Rental Account
Renting an aircraft by the hour with no plan is how pilots end up 400 hours in with the wrong categories filled. A time building course puts structure around the same flying so every hour counts toward a stated goal.
Our course begins with a logbook audit, sets a target date, and assigns routes that satisfy specific FAA sub-category requirements.
Course Structure
Stage one is checkout and standardisation: aircraft systems, local airspace, our operating procedures, and a proficiency flight with a CFI.
Stage two is the build itself, flown to a route plan that mixes short high-frequency legs with long cross-countries, night sorties, and instrument work.
Stage three is consolidation: a review of the logbook against your target certificate or airline application, and any remaining category top-ups.
What the Course Includes
Aircraft at block wet rates from $74/hr single engine and $174/hr multi engine, aircraft checkout, route planning support, dispatch and weather briefing access, and logbook category tracking throughout.
Optional additions include dual instruction, instrument proficiency checks, a multi-engine block, and accommodation near the airport.
Who the Course Suits
Private pilots building toward Commercial minimums, Commercial pilots working toward R-ATP or ATP, and international licence holders adding FAA time before conversion or an airline application.
It also suits pilots returning to flying after a gap who want structure and supervision rather than an unguided rental.
