Question

Which one requires more hours to acquire, a pilot license or an aircraft mechanic license?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a pilot license or mechanic license..

Now, if you are talking about the 'Certificate' then it's the Mechanic.  They have to go to school for many hours longer than pilots.

Answer 2

well....to get your standard pilot license, you need to take on 45hours, 35 of them is with your instructor and 10 is solo. This will roughly cost between 5,000 - 10,000 depending on area, flight paths, planes etc.

Air mechanic license, im not to sure about this 1, i think u have to still get your standard pilot license but im not to sure. Look it up on google. Im sorry i could not help you much with this.

(also if u want to carry on after you ppl (private pilots licence) then u can do to a cpl, then frozen atpl, then normal atpl. All these licenses need ratings awel, like night rating, multi engine rating, bad weather rating etc.

Answer 3

A private pilots certificate can be acquired in as little as 2 to 3 months including both classroom and required flight time.

However the A&P certificate is quite different.

The A&P Mechanics Requirements below are quoted from the Federal Aviation Administration regulations.  To paraphrase the regs it means an applicant to take the FAA tests must have either graduated from a recognized A&P school or have worked directly under the supervision of a certified A&P mechanic for the periods specified before being allowed to take either the Airframe or Powerplant exams.

If the applicant attended a school (normally a 2 year school) then the curriculum must include practical (hands on) work as well as classroom work.

If the applicant applies under the "practical" experience only option, then all work accomplished during the 18 months (for a single certificate) or 30 months (for both certificates) must be certified in writing to the FAA by the A&P mechanic/s that the applicant worked under.

Hope this helps
