Check AOPA's website.

Answer 2

Count on spending about $5000 for your license including airplane rental, instructors' fees, books, supplies and sundries.

The actual cost and the time it takes for to earn a private pilot's license can vary widely. If you live in an area with good flying weather (e.g. Arizona, Southern California) then you'll be able to get through the training a lot faster because you'll be able to fly more consistently. Some folks I know have gotten through the whole thing in only six weeks.

You should try to do 1-2 hours of flight time per week; if you follow this schedule consistently then you can expect to have your PPL in about eight months.

You can take flying lessons at any age (as long as you're tall enough so that your feet can reach the rudder pedals), but the FAA requires you to be 16 to do a solo, and you have to be 17 to earn the license.

Once you earn your license it never expires, you just need to renew it by having a medical exam with an FAA examiner every two or three years (depending on your age).

For the purpose of obtaining a private pilot's license, the minimum number of flight hours required by the FAA is 40 (I believe 20 of which must be solo). But these are just the minimums. In reality, people need more instruction than this. Most folks don't get their PPL until they have 60 or 70 hours under their belt.

It will be up to your instructor to decide when to sign you off to do your first solo, and eventually, your practical exam (checkride) at the end of your training.

You also must pass a 50-question written exam - the minimum passing score is 70 (60 in Canada).

Good luck.

The eligibility for receiving a private pilot license in the US is shown below:

Eligibility requirements: General.

To be eligible for a private pilot certificate, a person must:
(a) Be at least 17 years of age for a rating in other than a glider or balloon.
(b) Be at least 16 years of age for a rating in a glider or balloon.
(c) Be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language. If the applicant is unable to meet one of these requirements due to medical reasons, then the Administrator may place such operating limitations on that applicant's pilot certificate as are necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft.
(d) Receive a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor who:
(1) Conducted the training or reviewed the person's home study on the aeronautical knowledge areas listed in Sec. 61.105(b) of this part that apply to the aircraft rating sought; and
(2) Certified that the person is prepared for the required knowledge test.
(e) Pass the required knowledge test on the aeronautical knowledge areas listed in Sec. 61.105(b) of this part.
(f) Receive flight training and a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor who:
(1) Conducted the training in the areas of operation listed in Sec. 61.107(b) of this part that apply to the aircraft rating sought; and
(2) Certified that the person is prepared for the required practical test.
(g) Meet the aeronautical experience requirements of this part that apply to the aircraft rating sought before applying for the practical test.
(h) Pass a practical test on the areas of operation listed in Sec. 61.107(b) of this part that apply to the aircraft rating sought.
(i) Comply with the appropriate sections of this part that apply to the aircraft category and class rating sought.

As for the procedure, you will need to find a local flight school and talk to them about starting lessons. You might also want to go get a medical examination by an AME to make sure that you will not have any disqualifying issues before you waste your time and money training.

Answer 4

Well, no clear cut system on getting a PPL. Anyone and everyone can get it. Trouble come when you are into commercial. Just walk to the nearest flying school and enrol today. (Thats what I think)
