    Whether you are young and hoping for a career in aviation or are older and always wanted to learn to fly, the first step is usually to pursue getting the Private Pilot certificate. The process can seem overwhelming, but it’s not terribly hard.

    Your goal: A Private Pilot certificate.
    What you can do once you have it: In a nutshell, you can fly a single-engine, propeller-driven aircraft, with passengers, in conditions where you can see the ground (or, at night, the lights).
    How much does it cost:In 2020, the typical cost is around $15,000 if you train regularly, more if you don’t. Costs in rural areas tend be less than urban flight schools. Buying into a partnership o...
    How long does it take:Between six months and one year for most people, depending on how often you can fly. It is actually possible to do it in a much shorter period of time with a two to three week...

    The important thing to remember about the whole process of learning to fly is that it’s easier than you think. If you can drive a car, do high school math, are reasonably healthy, and you don’t have any major phobias, you can learn to fly an airplane for fun. The most important factor is motivation. Many pilots will tell you that they thought about...

    Cost: About $200 for a one-hour intro, depending on the flight school.
    Time required: An hour or two, depending on how far you live from the airport.
    Cost: $0, or maybe the cost of treating your spouse to a nice dinner.
    Time required: Depends on how receptive they are.
    Cost: $400 for books and materials
    Time required: a few hours
    Cost: $250 per flight lesson
    Time required: 2 hours per lesson, plus commuting time.

    These figures are on the high end and will vary from school to school. These are 2020 pricesfor Private Pilot. It is not cheap, but if you compare to the price of getting an Associates Degree of some kind, a Pilot’s Certificate is competitive with other types of education. Also, there are many scholarship opportunities for young persons looking at ...

    Cessna 172 rental, 1 hour (includes fuel, etc.): $175
    Flight instructor, 1 hour: $100
    Realistic number of hours with instructor: 40
    Realistic number of solo hours: 30

    If you cannot afford Private Pilots lessons outright, research some alternatives: 1. Get a Glider Certificate first. The cost is considerably cheaper. You will be a real pilot, you’ll just be flying an airplane without an engine. That is, unless you buy a “powered glider”, which is an interesting topic in itself. Glider training is “old school” fly...
