  1. Depending on the school that you go to, and how fast you learn, it can cost anywhere between $5000 and $10,000.

    The basic requirements to becoming a private, single engine pilot are:

    Be at least 17 years of age

    Be able to read, speak, write and understand the English language.

    To log at least 40 hours of flight time

      20 of which needs to be from an authorized instructor

      10 of which needs to be solo

        5 of which needs to be solo cross country

    Anyway, those are the basics, there are a few other requirements that you will achieve within those brackets.


  2. Where I live (West Bend, WI), it cost $67/hr for the plane, $28/hr for the instructor, and $9.50/hr for fuel to do my training.  I flew I Cessna 152.  It varies, though, depending on where you go.  For example, when I do my flying at the University of North Dakota, it costs $98/hr just for the plane itself.  It depends on where you are and what you are flying.  The plane at WI was a Cessna 152 built in the 70s/80s with over 6,000 hrs, whereas the plane at ND was a brand new Piper Warrior with a glass cockpit and only a few hundred hours or even less.  

  3. ground school is $550 at mannassas (khef) in a cessna 152  35 hours of flight training with an instructor-$4,795 20 hours of solo fight-$1800 20 hours of pre and post flight instructor briefing-$940

  4. Around $7k-$10k for your private license.  

  5. It depends on where you are, how intelligent you are, and what kind of arrangements you can make.  A Private Airman Certificate can cost anywhere from $5,000 to about $9,000 in the USA.

    To learn about the process and the specifics for your requirements and your location, you must go to the nearest airport where flight lessons are available, and talk to the flight instructors there.  They will fill you in on what you need.

    Have fun!
