Falcon Flight Academy is an outstanding place to train and build your flight hours. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire experience.

I got my Private Pilot License at Falcon and my experience was amazing! I had the opportunity to fly with multiple instructors to get several opinions which was great practice for my check-ride. My main instructor was Noah and he is very knowledgeable and an overall fantastic instructor I definitely had some great times flying with him. I would recommend all the flight instructors here!

Zero to Hero! If you want to learn to fly for fun or become a commercial pilot Falcon is your next stop. Learning to fly in the RV-12 is a game changer. The simplicity and safety of these new aircraft’s make learning to fly fun. Being a small school you will make friends with all the instructors and the owners of Falcon. No other school will offer this! Get yourself a discovery flight! It will not disappoint.

We had an excellent experience with Falcon Flight Academy. My son did a discovery flight with Josh, and it was fantastic from start to finish. The flight was about 45 minutes, and Josh made him feel confident, engaged, and genuinely excited about flying. It’s not easy to impress a teenager, and this experience absolutely did!

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Falcon Flight Academy 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 North Myrtle Beach, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in South Carolina Teaches You

South Carolina flying pairs Lowcountry coastal weather, sea breeze fronts, summer buildups, hurricane-season planning, with a booming aviation economy: Boeing's Dreamliner plant in Charleston, busy tourism corridors at Myrtle Beach, and mild winters that barely pause the calendar.

How to Evaluate Falcon Flight Academy 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 North Myrtle Beach means building your early hours in South Carolina 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 Falcon Flight Academy

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 Falcon Flight Academy'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. Our financing guide maps the loans, scholarships, and airline cadet programs that apply here, and several scholarship cycles go undersubscribed every single year.

How should I arrange a visit?

Call ahead and ask for a tour on a normal training day, not a quiet one. Use the directions button above to plan the drive to North Myrtle Beach, arrive early enough to watch ramp operations, and bring the vetting checklist from this page. A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
