There are various pilot licenses, including:

- Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL)
- Flight Instructor Certificate
- Multi-Engine or Seaplane Ratings, depending on your specialization.
Age requirements vary by country and license type but often start at 17 for a PPL. A high school diploma or equivalent is typically sufficient, but some commercial operators may prefer a college degree.
The cost varies widely depending on your location, the type of aircraft you train on, and the flight school you choose. Training for a PPL can range from $10,000 to $15,000, while an ATPL may cost $60,000 to $100,000 or more. To learn about our costs, click here.
The time required to become a pilot varies based on the type of license and your dedication. PPL can take a few months, while an ATPL may take several years.
Pilots must meet specific medical standards set by aviation authorities, such as the FAA in the United States. Conditions like color blindness or certain medical conditions may disqualify you.
Your pilot's license will specify the types of aircraft you can operate. For example, a PPL typically allows you to fly single-engine aircraft.
Job prospects vary by region and the type of pilot you want to become. There's demand for commercial airline pilots, but competition can be high.
Training includes both ground school (classroom instruction) and flight training (hands-on flying with an instructor).
