September 9, 2018 Take a Discovery Flight from a flight school or a Young Eagles flight (if youre 17 or younger) with your local Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter. Decide you WILL become a pilot! You can become a Sport, Recreational, or Private Pilot (airplane, helicopter, or glider?) You can also become a Drone (UAV) pilot Do you want to fly just for fun? Do you want to be a military pilot? Do you want to become an airline or corporate pilot? Find a flight school (FBO) or Flying Club and flight instructor (CFI), depending on what kind of pilot you want to be. If you want to fly for fun or be any other kind of pilot, go to your local airport and research & interview the flight schools, Flying Clubs, and CFIs and choose one. If military, go to a recruiting office (dont forget the Air National Guard). If you plan to study aviation at a university, many offer flight training. Plan for how youll pay for training (savings, scholarships, financing, parents, military, tuition, etc.) It costs around $10K to $12K. (See Cecis Tip List of Scholarships) Take ground training and get an instructors sign off to take the FAA exam (See Cecis Tip Tips for Ground School & Taking the FAA Written Exam) If you have had a Young Eagle flight you can take the Sportys Online Ground Training Course free! (Google Young Eagles Program or  HYPERLINK "https://www.eaa.org" https://www.eaa.org and search for Young Eagles) or Choose an online course or Take a Ground School class at your local airport or college or Study on your own Take the FAA written knowledge test. (Passing grade of 70 or better is required before the check ride.) Get your Student Pilot Certificate (by applying through the FAA IACRA website and your CFI; (see Cecis Tip Steps for obtaining a Student Pilot Certificate) and your Medical Certificate (by completing MedExpress online & passing a medical exam with an FAA designated Aviation Medical Examiner). Both certificates are required for solo. The Sport Pilot License requires a Student Pilot Certificate, but doesnt require a medical certificate. Start flying! Here are the steps youll go through in flight training: Fly with your instructor (dual) until solo (flying by yourself). After solo, build solo hours and start dual advanced maneuvers & night flying. Take dual & solo cross-countries (usually one short trip from your airport to another airport 50 nautical miles or more away, and one longer trip landing at 3 airports.) Prepare for the check ride. (Its good practice to have a phase check with another CFI before taking the FAA check ride). You are responsible for knowing the FAA requirements and if youve met them all for the check ride! (Sometimes CFIs miss count number of hours required for solo, cross-country, night, etc.) Take a check ride with an FAA designated examiner, which includes: An oral exam A flight with the examiner in the airplane If you pass, you receive your Certificate! With your Private Pilots Certificate you can take passengers and cross country trips on your own. This is your license to learn!! To be a safer pilot, fly often and go for advanced training (instrument rating, Commercial Certificate, multi-engine rating, Flight Instructor, etc.). Attend FAA safety meetings!
