How much does a Pilot License cost?

There are different Pilot Licenses for different purposes. For example: Sport Pilot License, Private Pilot License, Commercial Pilot License, Flight Instructor License, Airline Transport Pilot License. Sport Pilot License is usually owned by people who want to fly in their free time. This License allows you to fly light sporty planes. Today we will mostly focus on Private Pilot License.

A Private Pilot License (PPL) is the first license every pilot gets. It allows you to fly any single-engine aircraft. To fly a multiengine aircraft, you must additionally obtain FAA-approved additional certification that qualifies you to fly an aircraft with more than one engine. The legal age to obtain a PPL is 17. The process of getting a PPL is the following: Pilot Ground School, FAA Private Pilot Written Test, FAA Medical Certificate, 40 Flight Training Hours, and FAA Checkride.

The Pilot Ground School prepares you for the FAA Private Pilot Written Test. It should take around 2-3 weeks to prepare and clear your Written Test. Next comes the FAA Medical Certificate, which is a 30-minute medical exam where the examiner will check your lungs, hearing, eyesight, and others. Now it's time to join a flight school to get the 40 Flight Training Hours. Where you will normally spend 20 hours of flight training with an instructor and about 10 hours of solo flight training. The remaining hours could be spent in nighttime flight training. Finally, comes the FAA Checkride, which normally lasts 3-4 hours.

The whole cost of getting a Private Pilot License may vary from location and the quality of education received, but the total cost including everything should be around $8000 - $12000. The average time of getting a PPL is 6-12 months. If you can be persistent and get those Flight hours in you could obtain it from 2-3 months. A PPL never expires, but it can still get evoked if some circumstances are met. Everything said becoming a pilot can be hard and stressful all it takes is a bit of discipline and patience.
