These include engineers, managers, military and airline pilots, drone operators, cyber experts, and more. Their cumulative experience and expertise give students extraordinary insight.
FAA Private Pilot License written exam results are good for 2 years. Please note that students interested in a private pilot license must be 17 years old in order to complete that exam, so it is not recommended to take the FAA exam until a student is 15 years old.
