Learning To Fly• Find an Instructor You will like Working With

ask if they can work to meet them

• Start training. Most instructors will start training flights immediately.

• Many student pilots try to finish ground school first — don´t.

• You´ll be more motivated to learn what you need to know if you are actually using the knowledge while flying.

• The FAA Airplane Flying Handbook is the definitive guide on how to fly airplanes.

• Instructors can give you prep work from it to prepare for practice flights.

TESTING

• Take the FAA computerized test when you feel ready

• The test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions• • Many online sources provide practice testing

• Do well on this test and your oral review will likely be easier

• Complete your "solo" - a flight without an instructor on board. Many students will solo after only 10 to 15 hours of flight.

Complete about 40 hours of flight time and learn to demonstrate all the skills you need for your final FAA check ride.

• Most of your flight time will be with an instructor who will get you ready

• While 40 is the minimum number of hours for a Private Pilot certification, the average is closer to 65

• Sport or Recreation certifications come with limitations, but allow you to start carrying passengers more quickly.
