I'm 19 years old with all the time in the world, but money may be an issue.
You can get your private pilot's license w/o any training and that would allow you to fly small single engine planes. Typically you need about 40 hrs of flight time (both solo and with an instructor) and then must take several exams in order to obtain it. I work at an airport and its $80.00 an hour for a lesson and then $55.00 an hour for solo time in the plane but the rates are going to vary on where you go. I don't know what you are looking to do as far as flying but my step-sister was going to school to become a commercial pilot down in Florida and the schooling for that was about $75,000.00...Unless you are interested in going into the military though, getting any sort of certification to fly is going to cost money but if its something that you want to pursue for career purposes, then any money invested into it will be worth it. Good luck:) |
