pilot's license?
A: A private pilot may fly in weather conditions where the aircraft
is not required to enter into clouds. The proper term is to fly under
visual flight rules. A private pilot is not allowed to accept payment for
a flight. The cost of the flight can be shared with the pilot, but the
pilot cannot be compensated.
Q: How long does it take?
A: The best option is to fly at least two times a week, and if done
then it should take approximately 6 months.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: If a student flies at least twice a week the average cost should
be around $5500.00, it depends on how many hours it takes the individual student
to become proficient at the required skills.
