Flight Time Building in the US — Best Rates Nationwide
The fastest, most affordable flight time building program in the United States. Single-engine from $60/hr wet, multi-engine from $160/hr — at KFXE in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Why Pilots Across the US Choose My Flight Time
My Flight Time runs the highest-volume, lowest-cost shared time building operation in the country. Pilots fly in from all 50 states to build hours with us at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) because the math is simple: our single-engine wet rate starts at $100/hr regular and drops to $60/hr at the 1,500-hour tier — well below the national average of $115/hr+ from competitors.
We are a Part 61 operation with a company-owned fleet and an in-house 24/7 maintenance team. That means aircraft availability when you need it — up to 12 hours of flying per day, 7 days per week, with no waitlist and no mandatory days off.
South Florida's year-round VFR weather lets you fly consistently — something pilots time-building in the Northeast, Midwest, or Pacific Northwest simply cannot match.
