1. Try a discovery flight.

If you've ever thought to yourself, "I want to be an airline pilot" or "It might be cool to learn to fly,"  take one of our discovery flight. It's an introductory experience that gives you an inside look at the real world of flying. A professional flight instructor accompanies you and handles the takeoff and landing, but he or she may allow you to take the controls once you're up in the air (if you're comfortable doing so).

Instructors are usually happy to answer any questions you have about flight training or flying in general. It's a relaxed, low-pressure way to see if an aviation career is right for you, or just want to do it a new hobby to enjoy. You are not obligated to sign up for any further lessons.

Discovery flights normally involve about 30 minutes to one hour of air time. You will also receive a pre-flight briefing to make sure you understand what will happen on your flight and how to operate the seat belts and doors. Costs range from $100 to $180. (email us to schedule a discovery flight with us)

2. Earn a private pilot certificate.

• Complete ground training through a certified flight instructor or home-study course: This should cover topics like the principles of aerodynamics, stall recovery techniques, radio communication protocols, and navigation using visual flight rules (VFR). The instructor must endorse you as being ready to take the knowledge exam.
• Pass a written knowledge exam with a grade of at least 70 percent: This involves going to an FAA-approved testing center and answering 60 multiple-choice questions in 2.5 hours. FAA data shows that, in 2018, more than 32,000 students took the private pilot knowledge exam, and 91 percent of them passed.
• Log at least 35 to 40 hours of flight time, depending on whether you train under Part 61 or Part 141: This should include at least 10 hours of solo flying, five hours of which must be dedicated to cross-country flights. Your flight instructor must also verify in your logbook that you have demonstrated sufficient skills in pre-flight procedures, takeoffs, landings, navigation, stalls, night operations, and more.
• Pass a practical flying test (known as a checkride) administered by an FAA-designated evaluator: This includes an oral exam as well as the actual flying portion. You will have to demonstrate different maneuvers like steep turns, stall recovery, and various takeoffs and landings. The whole thing takes about four hours.

3. Cost to lean to fly

Depending on how quickly you acquire the flying skills it may take at minimum 40 ours of flying time, but a true average is around 50-60 hours of flying. Cost follows your hourly time it takes to acquire the flying skills to fly safely which is between $8,000 to $10,000.

Frequently Asked Questions About Becoming a Pilot

1. Is it hard to become a pilot?

If you are motivated and committed, it isn't too hard to become a pilot. There are lots of steps to go through and challenges to meet, but many people find the process interesting and enjoyable. And the payoff is the freedom and adventure that comes with being involved in aviation.

As with any profession, or Hobby becoming a pilot requires persistence and dedication. If you put in the effort to study and prepare properly for each exam and each flight, you will advance. Just take it one step at a time.

That depends on what kind of pilot you want to be, the training path you take, and how often you get to fly. It can take four months to become a pilot if you're content with flying single-engine planes as a hobby. It can take three or four years (or more) to get qualified as an airline pilot and accumulate the necessary flight hours. A person who trains under Part 61 can progress at his or her own pace, which obviously varies, whereas a person training under Part 141 will follow a set timetable.

A student who flies four or five times a week will make quicker progress than a student who flies once a week or less often. And since flight training can only be done in reasonably good weather conditions, a student pilot in a mild climate will likely have more opportunities to fly than one who lives in an area that experiences more extreme or varied weather.

The cost of going to flight school varies widely; it depends on the training path you choose. It costs anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000 to get a private pilot's license. As a rough estimate, this is what you can expect to pay for your:

• Instrument rating: $10,000
• Multi-engine rating: $3,000 to $4,000
• Commercial pilot certificate: $10,000 to $15,000
• Flight instructor certificate: $4,000 to $6,000
• ATP-CTP course: $4,000 to $5,000

Overall, it typically costs $70,000 to $100,000 or more to go from no flight experience to earning your ATP (Airline Transport Pilot). Many training institutions offer financing, and you may be able to reduce your costs through financial aid. Here are a few examples of organizations that offer scholarships to aspiring pilots:

• The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA)
• National Air Transportation Foundation
• Women in Aviation International
• Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA)
