The FAA requires 40 hours but most people (including myself) take more instruction depending on the type of aircraft one wishes to pilot. The average is between 60 and 65 hours.

The minimum number of flight hours one needs to become a pilot is forty (40). This is the bare minimum for earning the Private Pilot license, the first license in a series that goes up to Air Transport Pilot (ATP). There are, of course, specific requirements for flight hours in various categories (such as solo flight, night flight, simulated instrument flight, etc.) for the Private Pilot license. This is in addition to a passing score on a written examination, a satisfactory practical examination, and a satisfactory flight physical by a physician authorized by the FAA to perform physical exams for private pilots.

In the UK, you can't log any flying hours until you are 14 years of age. You can take flying lessons earlier, but it wouldn't count towards your pilot's licence. In the United States, whenver you want SWB...plus its free for your private pilots license, you are required 40 hours of flight time (this can be done within a week, if you have the time and the funds). You must be 16 to solo and 17 to take your practical flight test. You are required to take a written test before your flight test and you are required to get a flight medical before you solo. The flight medical will be your student pilot license. There are schools that will take you all the way to your Air Transport Pilot License in 180 and $70,000.
How do you become a private jet pilot?
go to flight school and get a private license The above answer is only a start. To become a private jet pilot you will need a commercial pilots license, an instrument rating, a multi engine rating and quite a bit of flight experience (Say 1500 hours as a very rough estimate). The more complex the aircraft you get the experience in the better (but also more expensive). Like with everything else, it helps to know people.
How old do you have to be to get a private pilot licence?
The age is not a legal requirement for a pilot license; however you need to show enough maturity to be given the commands of an airplane. Your flight instructor will not give you authorization for a solo flight until he thinks you are a safe and responsible pilot. I've heard of a boy who got his pilot's license at 12; this is possible, but exceptional. __________________________________________________________________________________ In the United States, you have to be: 16 to get your Student Pilots Licenses (meaning you can solo) 17 to get your Private License You can fly with an Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) at any age. (I have my Private License with Instrument Rating)
