5B Aviation

5B Aviation is a flight school catering to aspiring pilots with various goals, from hobbies to creative projects. They welcome students as young as 16, although a private pilot’s license requires a minimum age of 17. Proficiency in English, a medical exam, and passing the FAA written exam are prerequisites. To obtain a Private Pilot’s License, 5B Aviation outlines the requirements, including a minimum of 40 flight hours. They offer a Discovery Flight experience priced at $100, which counts toward the license requirements.

Training is conducted using PIPER Cherokee PA-28-180 aircraft and a RedBird MCX simulator. For those interested in multiengine aircraft, training on the Piper Seminole PA44-180 is available. Rental costs are $130 per hour for single-engine aircraft and $235 per hour for multiengine aircraft, covering fuel and maintenance. Overall, 5B Aviation provides a comprehensive program to help students achieve their private pilot license goals.
