Learning to fly a Boeing 747 typically requires extensive training and experience, often taking several months to a couple of years. Pilots must first obtain a commercial pilot's license, accumulate flight hours, and complete type rating training specifically for the 747, which includes ground school and simulator sessions. The entire process can take anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 hours of flight experience, depending on individual circumstances and the flight school. Ultimately, proficiency in flying a 747 is achieved through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application.
