Nope! The Street to Seat program is designed specifically for beginners. Most of our students have never even sat in a cockpit before. From day one, you’ll be learning alongside highly trained instructors who guide you step by step until you’re ready for your first solo flight.

Most students complete their first solo flight in around 30 Days, depending on weather, availability, and personal progress. Everyone learns at a different pace, but our program is structured to keep you moving forward quickly and safely.

That’s the best-case scenario! 🎉

If you solo before using all of your included hours, you don’t lose them. Instead, the remaining hours roll straight into your Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training.

This means you’ll already be ahead of the game - and saving money - when you move on to your full licence package. So whether you solo on your 10th, 12th, or 15th hour, you’ll keep flying and keep building towards your next goal.

Our program is designed to get most students to solo within the included training hours - and the majority achieve that milestone on time.

However, your safety is our number one priority. We will never send a student solo if we believe they are not ready. Flying solo is a big responsibility, and readiness varies from person to person.

If you use up the included training hours without being signed off for solo, we’ll sit down with you, review your progress, and provide a clear estimate of how many additional hours you’ll likely need. From there, you can choose to purchase those extra hours and continue until you’re ready to fly solo.

This way, your solo flight is not only achievable - it’s safe, confident, and unforgettable.

NO, you can begin your training right away without a medical certificate - no need to delay your first lessons.

But here’s the important part: before your first solo flight, you must hold a valid FAA medical certificate (at least a Class 3). You’ll also need a student pilot certificate and a government-issued photo ID.

The good news is, the medical is a straightforward process, and we’ll guide you through it when the time comes. Many students schedule it within their first few weeks of training so everything is ready well before solo.

There is an age limit of 16 years for solo flight. We’ve trained students as young as 11 and as seasoned as 70+. If you’re healthy enough to sit in an aircraft and take instructions, you can fly. There’s no “too young” or “too old” when it comes to chasing the dream of flight. 

Because we want every student to have the one-on-one attention they need. Limiting the cohort ensures instructors and aircraft availability match your training schedule, so you’re not left waiting around.

Then you’ll need to wait until the next one. Applications close at the end of each month, or earlier if we reach 10 students. If you’re serious about flying, apply as soon as possible so you don’t miss out.

Sometimes students aren’t quite ready for the commitment — and that’s okay. If your application isn’t approved, you’ll be invited to take a Discovery Flight for just $199, which is exclusive to Street to Seat applicants. It’s a great way to dip your toe in and prepare for the full program later.

A Discovery Flight is a hands-on flying experience with a certified instructor. You’ll do a pre-flight briefing, get in the cockpit, and get to do the take-off with instructor assistance (with the instructor beside you). It’s the perfect way to see what flying is really like before committing to the full program.

That’s completely normal! Most students feel a little anxious on day one. Our instructors are patient, supportive, and experienced in helping beginners build confidence. By the time you reach your solo, you’ll be amazed at how natural it feels.

That’s up to you! Many students continue training toward their full Private Pilot Licence or even continue to Commercial, while others simply tick “flying an aircraft solo” off their bucket list. Either way, your first solo is a milestone you’ll never forget - and it’s yours for life.

Simply click the “Submit Application” button, answer a few quick questions, and submit your application. You’ll know instantly if you’ve been approved. Once approved, you’ll be taken to a secure page to choose your payment option and lock in your seat.

Seats are limited, so once you’ve secured your spot, we can’t offer refunds. If something unexpected comes up, we’ll do our best to move you into the next cohort.

Most flight schools work on a casual, pay-as-you-go basis, which can drag out training and delay results. Street to Seat is structured, focused, and results-driven, designed to get you to your first solo fast — without wasted time or money.

Weather rarely affects lesson scheduling, but our monthly cohort model allows flexibility. If delays occur, we work with you to make up the time so you still stay on track toward your solo.
