You Can Fly - 2024 Edition - 13
The deal in the details
The basic requirements to earn your
private pilot certificate
* Be at least 17 years old. During
training, students may fly solo in
an airplane at 16.
* Obtain a medical certificate
from a physician who is an
aviation medical examiner
(find one at designee.faa.gov/
designeeLocator).
* Attend ground school classes
either in person or online, in which
you will learn technical details
such as aerodynamics, regulations,
weather, aircraft systems,
and more.
* Take the Federal Aviation
Administration knowledge test at
your local flight school or testing
location either before or during
your flight training.
* Log a minimum of 40 hours flight
time, at least 20 of which must be
lessons with a certificated flight
instructor (CFI) and at least 10
of which must be solo. These are
only the minimum legal requirements,
and most students log
more training before getting their
certificate. This can be done at
your own pace, as there is no set
time schedule you must adhere to.
* Take an oral and practical checkride
exam administered by a
designated pilot examiner when
you have completed your training.
If you want to fly for a career,
you'll be moving on to the next
level of certification. If just for fun,
you can be perfectly happy with
your new private pilot certificate.

world's largest general aviation

Learn to Fly online ground school course
completely free. Prospective students of
any age can try the time-honored method
of working at an airport in exchange for
lessons, or you might choose to save for a
while first and apply for the many scholarships
available for flight training. You may
need to buckle down with some financial
priority, ingenuity, and patience, but
remember there's no set schedule or one
way to do things. Each person's aviation
journey is different, and you should make
decisions that work best for your goals and
other life obligations.
Do your homework
Doing a little mental legwork before and
during your training can get you inside
tips for best practices and being more efficient.
For example, getting your medical
certification at the very beginning can
save you a lot of hassle and money down
