Private Pilot
Could you fly an LSA with a regular private pilot certificate?
I was wondering about this, as I plan to get my private pilot certificate. I see that LSA airplanes are cheaper to rent and more fuel efficient, so I imagine renting one would be good for maintaining your current experience or when you just want to fly alone. So is this allowed with a private pilots certificate or do you have to get the sports pilot certificate? Thanks.
Yes, a current PPL can fly a LSA AND if properly equipped can fly at night and IFR where a Sport Pilot can not.
BTW - SLSA aircraft are nearly all 2 seat aircraft. SLSA are the only aircraft that can be used for commercial service. (training/rental)

| | Private Pilot $14.03 The Practical Test Standards (PTS) series guides student pilots, flight instructors, and FAA-designated examiners through checkrides, the final test in acquiring a pilot license. Each PTS guide details the skill and knowledge that must be successfully demonstrated before an examiner can issue a certificate or rating. The knowledge requirements detail which subjects will be covered--which weather reports and forecasts candidates will be asked to analyze, which physiological conditions (such as dehydration, spatial disorientation, and hypoxia) candidates will need to discuss, and what kind of flight planning exercises will need to be demonstrated. The skill requirements include what kind of takeoff and landing must be performed, such as crosswind or short-field; how a steep turn should be executed, with specifics that include what bank angle and airspeed to use; and what areas will be tested on a continuous basis, such as the checklist usage, positive exchange of flight controls, and crew resource management. The tolerances are defined so the candidates know what altitude, airspeed, headings, and banks must be maintained to complete each maneuver successfully. Each PTS guide lists the knowledge and experience prerequisites for a particular certificate or rating and provides background information and study and reference materials. This replaces 1560273151. |

| | Private Pilot Licence $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or, in the United States of America, a Private Pilot Certificate, is a licence that permits the holder to act as the pilot of an aircraft privately (not for pay). The requirements to obtain the license are determined by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), but the actual implementation varies widely from country to country. According to the ICAO, it is obtained by successfully completing a course with at least 40 hours (45 in the UK and Spain) of flight time, passing a written exam, completing an extensive solo cross country flight (minimum solo flight time is 10 hours), and successfully demonstrating flying skills to an examiner during a flight test or checkride (including an oral exam). In the US pilots can be trained under Title 14 of federal code part 141 which allows them to apply for their certificate in as little as 35 hours. However, most pilots require 6070 hours of flight time to complete training. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

First Flight as a Private Pilot
How long does it take to get a private pilot's license?
I was given a gift certicicate for a one hour flight instruction. It was a blast, but I didn't think to ask how long (and how much it costs) it takes to get a private pilot's license.
Cost depends on where you are and how you approach it. There are two ways of attaining your Private Pilot Certificate - through a formal school environment, or one on one with an instructor (Part 61). Check with your local airport and ask a couple of instructors - see what they say.
As to cost, that also depends on how you progress through training. Some folks take longer than others. I don't know too many pilots who could pass their flight test at 40 hours. Most are around 50. Mine was at 55, because I did some extra training to build my confidence and flight skills.
If you are interested in a couple of other things - (1) get your medical out of the way first. No sense training and spending money if you can't pass the medical. (2) Schedule 3 times a week, and try to fly at least twice. This helps you retain what you learn better. (3) have your money set aside, and have some for after you get your certificate. I had $7k, and still have a little left, after having my certificate for awhile. No sense in getting it, if you can't then enjoy it.
Check out the two links I have here. One is the AOPA website, and the other is a more generic one, which is the one your intor flight probably came from.
Good Luck, and enjoy. It's awesome!!
