The instructors are well versed and knowledgeable and create a great atmosphere to fly the open skies with ease! Highly recommend!

Some ground lessons seem unnecessary. Update: I completed my Private Pilot License at TBA for approximately $40,000. Significantly higher than initial expectations. The school increased rates during training, including instructor fees (without corresponding instructor pay increases). During my commercial training using 50% GI Bill benefits, training was halted several months later due to billing disputes. TBA interpreted GI Bill reimbursement as 50% of every invoice up to eligibility limits, while their website policies suggested reimbursement "up to 50%" of total costs. This discrepancy created confusion over payment responsibilities. When I attempted to resolve the overdue balance in good faith, TBA threatened legal action. After I provided documentation showing billing errors, their legal team and leadership agreed to my original settlement offer, though this exceeded what I felt was warranted. Two years later, TBA refused to provide my Biennial Flight Review. I've since found more affordable alternatives for continuing aviation training. Bottom line: Expect higher costs than quoted and carefully review all billing policies before committing.

From the owner: If you live in the Tampa Bay area including Brandon, Lakeland, Valrico, Plant City, etc., and if…read moreyou are interested in learning to pilot an airplane, you?ve come to the right place. Plant City Airport is a great flight school choice. The Private Pilot Certificate (PPL) is like your Driver?s license. As a private pilot you can fly an airplane and carry passengers (friends, family, co-workers, etc) but not for compensation or hire. However, you can share the operating expenses with your passengers. The private pilot certificate is the first step for those interested in a career in aviation. This extensive training program will give students a solid foundation in aerodynamics, meteorology, and hands-on flight experience. Try your first flight lesson and we will only charge you $49. We also have plane rental and hangar rental available. Maintenance and service for most planes is also available.
