The Kentucky Flight Training Center out of Louisville, will start offering flight training at the Madison Municipal Airport.

Private Pilot
The Private Pilot Certificate, internationally referred to as the Private Pilot License (PPL), allows students to obtain the foundational knowledge and skills for all future aircraft pilot training. As a Private Pilot, you can fly an airplane day and night in visual flight conditions and carry passengers (friends, family, co-workers, etc.). You cannot fly for paid compensation or hire. However, you can share the operating expenses with your passengers.

Requirements:
-Be at least 16 Years Old to Solo
-Must be 17 Years Old to earn Certificate

-Read, speak, write, and understand English
-Able to obtain an FAA 3rd Class Medical

Minimum Flight Time to Complete

40 Hours*
Instrument Pilot
The Instrument Pilot Course is designed to teach pilots to operate aircraft in low-visibility environments, such as heavy cloud cover or heavy rain. The flight lessons in the course provide pilots the knowledge to rely solely on instruments to navigate the aircraft in situations where they cannot rely on visual instincts.

Requirements:
-
Must be 17 Years Old to earn Certificate
-Hold at least a current Private Pilot Certificate
-Read, speak, write, and understand English
-Hold a current 3rd Class FAA Medical or FAA Basic Med

Must be 18 Years Old to earn certificate
-Hold at least a current Private Pilot Certificate
-Read, speak, write, and understand English
