Time Building in the US
Build FAA flight hours anywhere in the United States from one of the country's best-positioned time-building bases — Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.
Why Pilots Choose the US for Time Building
The United States has the largest general aviation fleet, the most airports, and the lowest per-hour aircraft rates of any major aviation market. For pilots chasing FAA Commercial minimums, an R-ATP, or the full 1,500 hours, building in the US is almost always cheaper and faster than building in Europe, Latin America, or Asia.
US airspace is also the best training ground in the world for airline-track pilots. In a single cross-country you can operate in Class B, C, D, and non-towered environments, file IFR into busy terminal areas, and work with radar approach controllers who handle airline traffic all day.
My Flight Time operates from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) in South Florida, one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country. Our singles start at $60/hr wet and multi-engine aircraft start at $190/hr, with block discounts down to $74/hr single and $174/hr multi on 300-hour packages.
Rates for US Time Building
Single engine: 10 hours at $90/hr, 50 hours at $80/hr, 100 hours at $78/hr, 200 hours at $76/hr, and 300 hours at $74/hr.
Multi engine: 10 hours at $190/hr, 50 hours at $180/hr, 100 hours at $178/hr, 200 hours at $176/hr, and 300 hours at $174/hr.
All rates are wet — fuel and oil are included. There are no club dues, no monthly membership fees, and no minimum daily charges.
Coast-to-Coast Cross-Country Options
Pilots based with us fly routes across Florida, up the eastern seaboard, and out to the Gulf Coast. Long-range domestic routing is one of the fastest ways to accumulate cross-country PIC, night time, and instrument time simultaneously.
Because we operate 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, there is no weekend blackout and no waiting for a slot. Aircraft go out at sunrise and come back after dark.
International Pilots Building US Hours
We regularly host EASA, DGCA, ANAC, CAAC, and GCAA licence holders converting or supplementing their logbooks with FAA time. We handle the FAA verification process, TSA/AFSP where applicable, and the M-1 visa paperwork for pilots who need it.
Housing near the airport is available so international pilots can arrive, get checked out, and start flying within days.
