The world is about to get a lot smaller!
Imagine packing a bag on a Friday afternoon, hopping in an airplane, and being whisked away to a weekend getaway in just a few hours—skipping the stress of long drives or crowded airports. That’s exactly what I did after earning my private pilot license. Instead of enduring a 7-8 hour drive from Denver to Santa Fe, my wife and I made the trip in under 3 hours, enjoying breathtaking views and an unforgettable sense of freedom.
Or consider taking your son, who dreams of becoming a pilot himself, out for a scenic breakfast flight or to the world-famous EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. My private pilot certificate turned these adventures into realities and transformed the way I travel, work, and explore. Few experiences compare to the ability to make the world feel smaller, more accessible, and infinitely more beautiful—all from the pilot’s seat.
If this sounds like the life you’ve always wanted, an Accelerated Private Pilot Training Course might just be the perfect fit for you.
What Is Accelerated Private Pilot Training?
Accelerated flight training offers a structured and immersive path to earning your private pilot license (PPL) in a matter of weeks, not months. With a focused syllabus, frequent flying, and personalized instruction, you’ll master the skills and knowledge needed to take to the skies quickly and efficiently.
At Summit Wings Aviation, we’ve designed an accelerated course that combines up to 50 hours of flight time with 90 hours of expert instruction, encompassing pre-flight briefings, post-flight debriefs, solo supervision, and directed ground school. With our program, you’ll also have access to King Schools’ Private Pilot Ground School, allowing me to monitor your progress and help you succeed.
The Benefits of Accelerated Flight Training
Save Time and Money
With traditional flight training, long gaps between lessons often result in lost knowledge and costly refresher flights. Accelerated training eliminates this by immersing you in the learning process, saving you both time and money in the long run.
Faster Return on Investment
Whether you’re pursuing aviation as a career or for personal travel, earning your private pilot license sooner allows you to enjoy the benefits faster—whether that’s taking your family on adventures or advancing your journey to becoming a professional pilot.
Stay Immersed in Learning
Flying 4-5 days a week and incorporating guided and self-directed study creates an environment where skills are learned and retained more effectively. The continuity and consistency of accelerated training are unmatched in building confidence and competence.
Who Is Accelerated Training Right For?
This program is perfect for:
- Aspiring professional pilots who want to fast-track their aviation careers.
- Enthusiasts eager to experience the joy of personal flight.
- Motivated learners ready to commit to an immersive schedule.
Accelerated flight training is ideal for those who can dedicate themselves fully to their education, allowing them to complete the course in as little as 4-5 weeks.
Who Isn’t Accelerated Flight Training For?
While this program offers incredible benefits, it’s not right for everyone.
- Casual Learners: If you’re not fully committed to becoming a pilot, the fast pace may feel overwhelming.
- Time-Constrained Individuals: Success in this program requires significant time for flying and study. Those balancing full-time jobs should expect the program to take 50% longer to complete.
- Those Lacking Long-Term Interest: The intensive nature of accelerated training is best suited for those who see aviation as more than a fleeting curiosity.
What to Expect from the Program
Expect to fly 4-5 days a week, with two flights per day on average. Between flights, guided and self-directed ground training will reinforce key concepts, and evenings and weekends will often include additional study.
The program begins with a $200 Discovery Flight, which counts toward your total training hours. After this introductory flight, you’ll decide whether to commit to the program. Once you do, half of the remaining balance will be due upfront, and the other half will be due when your training account is depleted, typically after your first solo.
Transform Your Dreams into Reality
Few things compare to the freedom of flight and the perspective it brings. Whether you dream of becoming a professional pilot or simply want to explore the skies for fun, our Accelerated Private Pilot Training Course offers the fastest, most cost-effective path to your private pilot license.
