Solo Time Building at My Flight Time
Solo time building is the most straightforward way to accumulate flight hours toward the 1,500-hour ATP minimum. At My Flight Time, you fly our aircraft solo — planning your own routes, managing your own flights, and logging PIC time with every hour. It is real, hands-on flying that makes you a better, more confident pilot.
We are based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE), offering year-round VFR weather that keeps you flying consistently. Our students fly up to 12 hours per day, 7 days a week, with no mandatory days off. This pace allows you to accumulate 100+ hours per month when training intensively.
Our solo time building rates start at $180/hour wet in a Cessna 172 — among the lowest in the country. All fuel, oil, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate. No hidden fees, no fuel surcharges.
