Private Pilot Certificate

You can earn your Private Pilot License and see the world from a new perspective. Rent EFA aircraft, take friends for pleasure flights, day or night. Enjoy weekend getaways to the Cape or islands without traffic. Unwind after a tough day at the office with a relaxing flight at the controls of EFA's exceptional airplanes.

A safe and competent pilot is a result of careful instruction, a solid knowledge base and sound decision making skills. Your best alternative is to train with full time, professional flight instructors who are committed to success. Our flight instructors are educators who are rigorously trained by EFA to deliver the knowledge gained by our four decades of flight training experience and produce the very best pilots in the nation.

We have trained thousands of pilots who say earning their Private Pilot Certificate is one of their greatest accomplishments. You will become a licensed aviator and enjoy the personal freedom of flight.
