Questions people ask
How long does it really take?
Most full time students finish in seven months. Weather in the rainy season and how often you can fly matter more than anything else. Weekend students usually take 12 to 14 months.
Can I count my discovery flight?
Yes. The discovery flight goes in your logbook and counts towards the 45 hours if you start within six months.
What if I need more than 45 hours?
Many students do. Extra hours are charged at the example rate of ₦285,000 an hour, and your instructor tells you early if you are trending above the minimum.
