Pilots!...I need help!?

Question

How long does it take to recieve your private pilot's license?

Answer 1

If you are committed, you can do it in 2 or three months (I did.) However, plan on opening up your schedule and try to fly as many days as possible (weather will always make flying a certain number of days impossible.)

Good luck with the flying!

Answer 2

The minimum required hours of flight is 40, the average is in the low 60's. The speed at which these hours are gained is entirely up to you and your budget. I would not recommend doing more than two hours a day. Any more is too tiring, and you will quit learning. Do an hour of flight, two hours of ground, then another hour of flight after a break, maybe finish off with more ground. A lot of it depends on your instructor, how willing he/she is to help you really go at it.

When I did mine, I had 20 hours on Jan 1, decided to do nothing but fly. By March 2, I had a fresh commercial and 150 hours.
And a very small bank account
