How can I become a private pilot?
First, determine what type of pilot you want to become. There are different requirements for private and commercial pilots. Next, enroll in a flight training school or find a certified instructor. You'll also need to find a medical professional who can issue you a 1st or 2nd class medical certificate. You'll be up in the air quickly after that but must pass the FAA written exam, accumulate enough training hours, and pass a final check ride before you earn your pilot certificate.
