Begining to fly questions?
I'm amazed by Planes! I love to watch aircraft take off and land, also riding along too, so I want to learn how to fly. I would like to have my own small aircraft (cessna) and just fly for fun and visit other states, it would be a great hobby and something to do. Well to get to the questions, how old must you be to fly? Secondly how much do the classes usually cost? I heard you have to earn your fly time in hours and have a certain number of hours to achieve a license.

You have to be 14 to start training, 16 to fly solo, and 17 to get your private pilot license.
The average amount of money spent on earning a PPL is between 6000 and 8000 dollars depending on how many hours you fly.
Answer:The following answers apply to the U.S:
any age to fly with an instructor and log hours
16 to solo (fly alone, required before license)
17 able to take checkride and get license (Private)
40 hours minimum:
20 must be with an instructor
10 solo
10 xc hours- at least 3 dual and 5 solo
- one most be over 150 nm, with one leg at least 50
3 night hours
-10 TOs and landings (full stop)
3 instrument hours
3 hours of checkride preparation w/in 60 days of the day of the checkride
and pass the written exam with a 70 % or higher.
all of this stuffs listed in the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)
i believe it is all correct, i may have missed a few minor details
message me with questions
Answer:jtk15… is right with regard to the requirements.
Just to add a little more information:
The 40 hours is not really realistic. The national average is probably closer to 50-60. That is skewed by the students who have no aptitude, fly once a month, start and stop, start and stop, etc. But I would seriously not expect to finish in less than 45-50 hours.
If you do this, have your money situation settled. Try to fly at least three times a week with no interruptions. More would be even better. Plan on some serious study; it isn't all fun and games.
In the end, it will probably cost somewhere between 5-8K for your Private Pilot Certificate.
Good Luckl
Answer:You are correct. You must have a minimum of 40 hours of flight time to get your private license. A certain amount of that time must be spent with an instructor.
The best thing to do is rent a plane. you can get a Cessna for less than $100 per hour.
I am not 100% sure but I think 16 is that age for a private pilot in the fixed wing side of the house but it may be 18 not sure.
