flying is something ive always wanted to do. i just turned 16 (yesterday actually) and just had some questions. i live in huntsville alabama, if that makes any difference
ive been reading different websites and found different information, but the most common seems to be that you can start schooling at 16, but cant get a license til 17. is this the case?
wat is the difference between a student license, a sport license, a recreational license, and a private license? which one would i need just to fly for fun occasionally, and maybe a trip every once in while. i just want to fly a small two seater plane mostly (like a Cessna 150?), and occasionally a slightly larger plane to seat maybe 6 people.
how much does it typically cost? ive heard an average of around $4600-$8600. a price breakdown would be nice (plane rental, instructer fee, exam fee, gas costs, etc). not only for getting a license, but how much does it cost to go on say a 2 hour joyride in a two-seater?
