Default Re: private pilots license

Starting at 15 is fun, but you're going to have to be 17 to actually get your liscense. Like others have said, it's extremely expensive. The FAA says you need at least 40 hours of flight time, 30 of which must be with an instructor. If you can find a flight school that has reasonable rates, then it isn't so bad. Typically, you're looking at spending $5,500-$7,500 depending on how much the plane and instructor are costing you.
