HOW TO GET YOUR
PRIVATE PILOTS LICENSE IN NJ
Basic Questions answered about getting your Private Pilots License in NJ
Provided to you by FunNewJersey.com!
The private pilot licence is your first step to an avation career! Private pilots learn the basics of flying over approximately 40-60 hrs of flying. They learn basic aircraft handling, in-flight maneuvers, navigation as well as FAA regulations. Please see some frequently asked questions below. Always check with a certified flight school in NJ or NJ State regulations for 100% accuracy of the answers to the questions below.
Why learn to fly?
There a many reasons to want to fly. Throughout the years many people have dreamed of becoming a pilot simply to experience the thrill of flying. Some people learn to fly to simply have the sense of accomplishment of mastering a skill. Flying allows yet others to see the world from a Birds-eye view. One of the most conventional reasons is simply so that you can get from place to place quickly. A person with his private pilot license can get from point A to Point B sooner than the airline passenger, and can land at a smaller airport that is more convenient and closer to the destination. A private pilot can fly the family or friends for a day at the beach or skiing, or just to have lunch or dinner with a distant friend or relative. Driving the same distance would be impractical. For those interested in a career in aviation, obtaining a private pilot's license is an important step.
What are the requirements to get a pilot's license in NJ?
There are three basic requirements for learning to fly powered airplanes in NJ:
1. You must be at least 16 years old to solo an aircraft and 17 years old to obtain a private pilot's certificate (but you may begin training at a younger age).
2. You must pass a third class medical exam (similar to a routine physical check-up).
3. You must be able to read, speak, write and understand English.
As a pilot, you'll be governed by the regulations set up by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The more responsibility you take on as a pilot, the more stringent the FAA requirements become. For more information on requirements for specific ratings and certificates, click on Flight Training - Certificates or Ratings.
Can I go on an introductory flight to see if I like it?
Yes. Most Fight schools offer an introductory flight for a small fee. It is a great way to test the waters (or skies that is!)
How much does it cost to get a typical pilot's license?
The typical cost is anywhere from $5500 to $9500. You can usually stretch the payments over a period of 4 to 6 months. Some Flight schools also offer financing. Although this may seem like a lot of money, it is really not that bad if you consider other hobbies like boating or golfing. If you want to become a career pilot you can expect to spend between $20,000 to $30,000 typically for a professional program.
Do I have to attend an aviation university if I want to be a career pilot?
No you do not have to attend an aviation university to get your private pilots license or to become a career pilot. It is always a good idea to get a four-year degree, but it is not a requirement to obtain your degree in aviation.
Is it difficult is it to learn to fly?
It does take some time and practice to master the skill of flying. It depends on your determination and how much effort you put into it. The good news is, is that anyone can learn to fly! Thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds have learned to fly. Most students reach a plateau during their training when they seem to be stuck mastering one of the skills (landing is usually the toughest to master), but once past that point, a very high percentage go on to pass their test.
How long does it take to get a Private Pilot's license?
Most people will achieve their private pilot's certificate between 55-65 hours of flight time. This includes flight time spent with a flight instructor (dual) and time spent flying alone (solo). Most students take four to six months from their first lesson until they pass the test for their Private Pilot's license. If you have the time, you could conceivably obtain your license quicker usually 8 weeks. Some people spread their training over a year or two. It all depends on the amount of time you can invest.
What kind of plane would I fly as a beginner?
Student pilots must begin training in single engine aircraft. Most schools use small Cessna aircraft. It takes many hours of actual flight time training and experience before you should consider training in a jet aircraft.
What are the age restrictions too learn to fly?
There are no age restrictions to learning how to fly except that you must be at least 16 years old to solo an aircraft and 17 years old to obtain a private pilot's certificate (but you may begin training at a younger age). There are no restrictions for age of seniors as long as you pass the physical.
What kind of physical condition must I be in to learn how to fly?
Pilots are required to pass a basic physical examination before their first solo flight. Most people with average health can pass the physical. Of course if you have a more serious illness or condition, you should check with a local Flight school to find out more exact requirements. As far as eyesight goes, you need a minimum of 20/30 vision corrected or un-corrected (with or without eyeglasses). Please check with a flight school if you are legally blind in one eye but have 20/20 vision in the other eye.
How safe is flying?
Statistically, flying is safer than driving in your car. Most pilots fly a lifetime without an accident of any kind. Airplanes must undergo rigorous inspections and maintenance, so a mechanical failure is also very rare.
How long is each lesson?
Typically lessons consist of about one hour of pre-flight preparations inspections, discussions and one hour of actual flying time.
