Private Pilot Certification (FAR Part 141)

The private pilot candidate will obtain their private pilot certificate after the completion of two courses, Aviation 2101 and 2102. Aviation 2101 is the first of these two courses and focuses on developing the necessary aeronautical knowledge, experience and skill to prepare the candidate for their initial solo flight. Aviation 2102 is the second course in the private pilot certification process and is concentrated on cross-country procedures and further development of aeronautical abilities. After the completion of these two courses to the current Private Pilot Practical Test Standards, the candidate will then be eligible to receive their Private Pilot Certificate with an airplane, single engine land class rating.

Note: Any and all funds that remain unused after the completion of a course may be refunded per the student’s request. * Minimum Requirements are based on FAA minimum requirements for OSU’s Part 141 curriculum. Average hours listed are calculated from the average completion time and cost of previous Ohio State Students.
