FAQ

Common Questions.

To earn a Private Pilot Certificate, FAR Part 61 details the information you must learn and requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight training: 30 with an instructor and 10 solo. Few people complete their training in the minimum amount of time; most take 60 to 80 hours.

You must meet the basic FAA criteria:

  • Be at least 16 years old (14 years old for operating a glider or balloon).
  • Be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language.
  • Hold at least a third class medical certificate (not required for glider or balloon certificates) from an aviation medical examiner (AME), who is an FAA-approved doctor, if you’re pursuing a recreational or private pilot certificate, or hold at least a current and valid U.S. driver’s license if you plan to earn a sport pilot certificate. If you have physical limitations that make it difficult for you to meet the medical requirements, the FAA may place operating limitations on your pilot certificate to ensure the safe operation of the aircraft. 

If you are pursuing a private, instrument or multi-engine certificate you will most likely learn to fly in a two- or four-seat airplane with one engine and fixed landing gear. Most training airplanes carry two to four hours of aviation fuel and fly about 100 mph.

The options are endless! Take local sightseeing flights with friends and family, travel farther for business or recreation. Test your mettle (and your stomach) learning to fly aerobatics for fun or competition. Build and fly your own aircraft or restore and fly antique/classic aircraft. Join a flying club to connect with other aviation enthusiasts. You can also support a growing number of flight organizations that support humanitarian causes, such disaster relief or transportation for non-critical medical treatment. You can also continue your training all the way to Commercial Certificate and apply for an airlines or become a corporate/charter pilot.
