Whether you’re looking to fly for a hobby or headed to the airlines, every pilot must start at Step 1, earning your Private Pilot certificate. No matter the flight school, instructor or aircraft you train in, one thing is certain: it will take a lot of time, money and commitment to make this dream a reality. On this episode we’re guiding you through the steps and requirements to become a private pilot. We’ll cover private pilot privileges and limitations, eligibility requirements, ground training, flight training/aeronautical experience, and finally the practical test, or “checkride.”
