The FAA minimum to become a flight instructor is 250 hours for airplanes and 150 hours for helicopters. As you can see from the table below, most of our instructors far exceed the FAA minimums and the industry average. Several of our airplane instructors are former airline pilots.
Call 781-274-6322, seven days a week, and our front desk staff will cheerfully book an intro lesson with the instructor of your choice.
