FAQ

  • Does the course guarantee my First Solo Achievement?
    No, we cannot guarantee solo flight achievement. However, with adequate preparation, you have a strong possibility of reaching this milestone in under 15 hours. At Wingman, we are dedicated to helping you achieve solo flight within this timeframe. Please note that any extra flight credits will not be refunded if you complete your solo within 15 hours. Should you require additional time, you may purchase further flight hours as needed. Your success is our priority, and we ensure that we will not require you to fly more than necessary while maintaining our high standards of instruction.
  • Why should I choose the First Solo Package instead of just paying for 15 hours of flight time?
    The First Solo Package includes much more than just 15 hours of flight time. It offers essential resources that support your journey toward achieving solo flight, providing greater overall value. This includes items like the RPL/PPL Study Guide, VTC, and a pilot logbook.
  • How long does it typically take to achieve my first solo?
    The timeline varies by individual but generally takes around 15 hours of flight training, completed within 3-4 weeks. Progress depends on your learning ability and weather conditions.
  • Can I choose my flight instructor?
    While we strive to accommodate your preferences, instructor assignments may vary based on availability. We aim to assign one instructor to each student to better monitor progress and ensure a consistent learning experience.
  • Is there an age requirement for the First Solo Package?
    Yes, students must be at least 15 years old to achieve their first solo flight. However, you can begin your training before reaching this age!
