So, you want to learn to fly. Flying is a rewarding and enjoyable experience, and you need to be sure you do it safely.
First, find a licensed, reputable flight school or flight instructor. They should hold a certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration that allows them to give training.
After completing several weeks of ground training and completing a written test, you’re reading to complete 30 to 40 hours of flight time with your instructor.
Complete a solo flight without an instructor.
Complete a final exam with an FAA certified examiner.
Congratulations! Receive your private pilot’s license, and start flying!
