Flight Training in Broward County | My Flight Time — Fort Lauderdale

My Flight Time is Broward County's most comprehensive flight training facility, located at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE). We serve pilots from Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Sunrise, Davie, and all Broward County communities.

Why Broward County Pilots Choose MFT

As a county-level page, this serves the broader Broward market. KFXE is centrally located within Broward County, making MFT accessible to virtually every community in the county within a 20–30 minute drive. Broward's 2 million+ population and proximity to multiple airports make it one of the strongest flight training markets in Florida.

Programs Available

Full program range: PPL ($11,900), IR ($11,800), CPL ($4,050–$11,100), CFI ($5,800), foreign license conversion ($17,500), time building from $60/hr. Open 12hrs/day, 7 days/week.

Broward County students usually start with the Private Pilot program, add an instrument rating, then move into the Commercial Pilot program or the Airline Pilot Program. Career-track pilots close the hour gap with time building at KFXE — every rate is listed on our pricing page, and the aircraft you will fly are on the fleet page.

South Florida Flying Advantage

300+ VFR days. South Florida's climate advantage means virtually no training interruptions year-round.

Getting to KFXE from Broward County

KFXE sits near the geographic centre of Broward County, so almost every community in the county is inside a thirty-minute drive: ten minutes from Pompano Beach and Oakland Park, fifteen from Fort Lauderdale and Plantation, twenty from Sunrise, Davie and Deerfield Beach, and twenty-five from Coral Springs, Weston and Miramar. Tri-Rail's Cypress Creek station is a short rideshare from the hangar.

How Broward County Students Schedule Training

Because the county is our home market, we hold the widest scheduling window here — the field operation runs twelve hours a day, seven days a week, which means shift workers, students and career changers can all find repeatable slots. Full-time students fly daily and finish the Private Pilot certificate in four to six weeks; part-time students on two lessons per week generally finish in four to five months.

Local Airports and Routes Broward County Pilots Fly

Broward gives students an unusually dense set of training airports inside a twenty-mile radius: KFXE as home base, KPMP and KBCT for non-towered and light-tower work, KFLL for Class C arrivals alongside airline traffic, and KHWO for high-density traffic scanning. Add Miami Approach to the south and Palm Beach to the north and students can practise every airspace class the FAA tests without a single long ferry flight.
