If you’re looking for a top tier time-building program in the Fort Lauderdale area, Flight Time is THEE way to go! I completed 30 hours of multi-engine time and 10 hours of single-engine time, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish.

Flight Time out of FXE is the best place to build time!! The absolute best prices and of upmost importance to me the flexibility is top notch! I was able to build time incredibly fast while at the same time having a flying job. This allowed me to hit ATP minimums in time for my upcoming class date. The aircraft are well maintained and any squawks are promptly addressed. I was able to forge new friendships and easily …

I’m currently in private pilot training, and I’ve really been enjoying everything so far. I’m still in the process, but I’m very grateful I chose this school and I’m excited to keep going. The instructors are all great, especially Fernando. They are very knowledgeable, patient, and easy to learn from.

If you’re serious about building time efficiently, this is hands down the best place in the country to do it. My name is Tony, I’m from Nashville, Tennessee, and I’ve been here since February. I came in with 300 hours and the goal to reach my ATP minimums as quickly and as cost-friendly as possible and this place did that for me. I fly 8 hours every single day and the operation here makes that kind of consistency re…

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like My Flight Time: Time Building and Flight Training trades the academy's speed for flexibility and often meaningfully lower total cost. The pay-as-you-fly model keeps your money in your control, and training two to three lessons weekly around work is the proven rhythm, enough frequency to retain skills without the academy's all-in schedule. The variable to manage is momentum: local-school students who succeed book standing lesson slots, fly year-round, and treat ground study as homework rather than something that happens at the airport. Ask about aircraft scheduling depth, instructor availability on your target days, and examiner wait times in Fort Lauderdale, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Florida Teaches You

Florida pairs sea-level performance with year-round flying, which is why more airline cadets train here than anywhere outside Arizona. The classroom is the afternoon sky: predictable convection builds most summer days, teaching students to read cumulus, plan around storms, and fly mornings. Coastal training corridors from Daytona through Vero Beach are dense with trainers, so collision avoidance and crisp radio work get baked in early.

How to Evaluate My Flight Time: Time Building and Flight Training on Your Tour

Every school on this directory gets the same advice from us, because the fundamentals don't move. Walk the ramp and count how many aircraft are down for maintenance. Ask how many lessons a week they can actually schedule you, and how far out the booking calendar runs. Ask for first-attempt checkride pass rates and how long students wait for an examiner. And keep your money in your control: pay as you fly, or in small blocks with clear refund terms.

Then weigh the location itself. Training in Fort Lauderdale means building your early hours in Florida weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship. Our school-selection guide covers the full vetting checklist, and the financing page maps scholarships and loans that apply at schools like this one.

Common Questions About Training at My Flight Time: Time Building and Flight Training

How long would my training take here?

Part-time students flying two to three lessons weekly typically earn a private certificate in six to twelve months and a commercial certificate in two to three years, with pace set by your calendar and the weather. Consistency decides everything: standing lesson slots beat sporadic bursts by months.

What will it cost, and can I get help paying?

Get My Flight Time: Time Building and Flight Training's current rates directly; published numbers age fast in this industry. Nationally, plan on $80,000 to $120,000 from zero time to commercial certificates before instructing pay starts offsetting costs.
