Step 1
Be at least 17. Read, speak and understand English. English is the language used by control towers and airports all over the world.

Step 2
Check with local, general aviation airports for information about flight schools in your area.

Step 3
Enroll in a licensed flight school. Typically, it costs $3,000 to $4,000 for ground school and flight training.

Step 4
Obtain a medical certificate from a qualified doctor of aviation medicine before beginning the course. The flight school can usually recommend a doctor in your area.

Step 5
Complete a three to five-week ground school course.

Step 6
Take the written FAA test at the end of the course work. The test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions and can be taken at FAA testing centers or with other licensed test providers.

Step 7
Complete 30 to 40 hours of actual flight time with an instructor. The school will provide the plane.

Step 8
Complete your “solo” – a flight without an instructor on board.

Step 9
Complete your final exam, called a “check ride.” An FAA-certified examiner will ask questions and accompany you on a flight in order to assess your abilities.

Step 10
Receive your private pilot’s license with a visual flight rating. This allows you to pilot a single-engine aircraft day or night in weather with good visibility.
