Private Pilot Course Requirements

Be at least 16 years old to fly solo.

Be at least 17 years old to receive your private pilot certificate.

Read, speak, write, and understand English.

Obtain at least a third-class medical certificate.

Instrument Rating Requirements

  • Hold at least a current private pilot certificate, or be concurrently applying for a private pilot certificate, with an airplane, helicopter, or powered-lift rating appropriate to the instrument rating sought to attend flight school;
  • Be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English language. If the applicant is unable to meet any of these requirements due to a medical condition, the Administrator may place such operating limitations on the applicant’s pilot certificate as are necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft;
  • Receive and log ground training from an authorized instructor or accomplish a home-study course of training on the aeronautical knowledge areas that apply to the instrument rating sought;
  • Pass the required knowledge test on the aeronautical knowledge areas related to the instrument rating sought; however, an applicant is not required to take another knowledge test when that person already holds an instrument rating;
  • Receive a logbook or training record endorsement from an authorized instructor certifying that the person is prepared to take the required knowledge test;
  • Receive and log training on the areas of required instrument operations from an authorized instructor in an aircraft, full flight simulator, or flight training device that represents an airplane, helicopter, or powered-lift appropriate to the instrument rating sought;
  • Receive a logbook or training record endorsement from an authorized instructor certifying that the person is prepared to take the required practical test;




Commercial Pilot Requirements

  • Be able to read, write, and converse fluently in English.
  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Hold at least a current third-class FAA medical certificate. Later, if your flying requires a commercial pilot certificate from any school, you must hold a second-class medical certificate.
  • Hold an instrument rating. A commercial pilot is presumed to have an instrument rating. If not, his/her commercial pilot certificate will be endorsed with a prohibition against carrying passengers for hire on day VFR flights beyond 50 NM or at night.
  • Receive and log ground training from an authorized instructor or complete a home-study course or school such as the Gleim Commercial Pilot Kit.
  • Pass a knowledge test with a score of 70% or better. The commercial pilot knowledge test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions selected from the airplane-related questions in the FAA’s commercial pilot test bank.
  • Accumulate appropriate flight experience and instruction (see 14 CFR 61.129). A total of 250 hours of flight time is required. Time requirements may be reduced to 190 hours if training at an FAA-Approved part 141 flight school.
  • Successfully complete a practical (flight) test, which will be given as a final exam by an FAA inspector or designated pilot examiner; it will be conducted as specified in the FAA’s Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards.

Multi-Engine Rating Requirements

  • To obtain a multi-engine add-on rating under Code of Federal Regulations Part 61, you’ll need to be trained on the aircraft’s performance and limitations, aircraft systems, performance maneuvers, single-engine operations, spin awareness, emergency operations, and instrument approaches (single-engine) if applicable.
  • No additional flying-hour are required on top of the private pilot or commercial pilot certificate except you must have at least three hours in a multi-engine aircraft prior to taking the checkride.
  • For the checkride, the pilot will need to be skilled at flying a twin-engine aircraft with one engine failed. That skill will need to be demonstrated in various scenarios during flight, such as takeoff, landing, maneuvering, during an instrument approach, etc.
