Question

How long does it take to get a private pilots license? How much $? How many hours of flying time are required? If i Had 2 months and could take the lessons daily would I be able to get my license in those two months?

Answer 1

$5000 and 5 weeks.

Answer 2

you could also go for a sport pilot license.  its a bit cheaper for the training.  it takes an average of 15-20 lessons depending on the individual.  i don't know where you are at.  we have a school here in northern california if you are interested.  http://www.freedomfield.com

Answer 3

Since no one knows where you are and how adept you are at learning, the question is impossible to answer. 2 months should be ample time if you have the money and are a good learner. You will have to get pricing from your local school, because it varies from school to school.

Answer 4

Minimum 40 flight hours required, for the US at least, however, it takes most people longer than that  Cost could be from around $5,000 to $8,000 or more.  People getting their private for fun only usually take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.  Those going career can do it in a few months, if they devote 100% of their time to it.  2 months would be pushing it.  Don't rush it.  There's a lot to learn.  Unless you don't have a job and don't go to school, I don't recommend taking more than 3 lessons per week.

Answer 7

If you could fly daily, and had the money, you can find an "accelerate" program. You will fly the required 40 hours (plus more as needed) in about three-weeks time. The costs are around $5K to $10K, depending on where you live, airplane type, and total number of hours you fly.

It is worth every minute and penny!
