FAA Requirements for Private License
The US Private Pilot license authorizes a pilot to fly most single engine aircraft. A separate, short additional course is necessary to earn flight privileges in Multi engine aircraft. Private pilots may carry passengers, and use the aircraft for business transportation, as long as neither the aircraft or pilot are operating for hire. The minimum FAA requirements for attaining a Private Pilot license are:
-
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Be able to understand the English language.
- Pass a written test on aviation knowledge subjects.
- Have at least 40 hours flight experience (including 10 hrs solo and 20 hours with instructor)
- Hold a third class FAA medical certificate
- Pass an oral and flight test.

Students who complete our training course should have no problems passing the required tests!
