5 Become a Pilot Student Pilot's Certificate Requirements When do I need a student pilot certificate? Before you can fly solo. You don't need a student pilot certificate to take flying lessons. Am I eligible for a student pilot certificate? You are eligible if: You are at least 16 years old. If you plan to pilot a glider or balloon, you must be at least 14 years old. You can read, speak, and understand English AND You hold at least a current third-class medical certificate. If you plan to pilot a glider or balloon, you only have to certify that you have no medical defect that would make you unable to pilot a glider or balloon. How do I get a student pilot certificate? Upon your request, an FAA-authorized aviation medical examiner will issue you a combined medical certificate and Student Pilot Certificate after you complete your physical examination. Student Pilot Certificates may be issued by an FAA inspector or an FAA-designated pilot examiner. Applicants who fail to meet certain requirements or who have physical disabilities which might limit, but not prevent, their acting as pilots, should contact the nearest FAA office. Locate an Aviation Medical Examiner. How long are my student pilot certificate and my medical certificate valid? Please refer to 14 CFR for complete information. A student pilot certificate expires 24 calendar months from the month in which it is issued. A third class medical certificate expires: If under age 40 on the date of examination, at the end of the last day of the 60th month after the month after the date of examination. If age 40 or older on the date of examination, at the end of the last day of the 24th month after the month after the date of examination. Can I renew my student certificate and medical certificate? No, but you can get a new one. If my original Student Pilot Certificate has been endorsed for solo flying, do I lose this endorsement on my new certificate? No, the endorsements are still valid. However, they are not transferred to the new certificate. Keep the old certificate as a record of these endorsements. Should my flight instructor endorse my student pilot certificate before or after my first solo flight? Before the solo flight. The endorsement certifies that you are competent to solo.

6 If I solo in more than one make or model of aircraft, must I have an endorsement for each on my student pilot certificate? If so, who should endorse the certificate? Yes. Your flight instructor must make this endorsement before you solo in each make or model of aircraft. Does the endorsement to solo allow me to make solo cross-country flights? No. You also have to get a cross-country flight endorsement from you flight instructor. Must I carry my student pilot certificate with me when I am piloting an aircraft in solo flight? Yes. Is there a charge for the student pilot certificate? Not when it's issued by an FAA Flight Standards District Office. However, an FAA-designated pilot examiner can charge for issuing student pilot certificates. Also, an FAA-authorized aviation medical examiner can charge for your physical examination in connection with issuing the combination medical certificate and student pilot certificate. Source: The FAA requires a minimum of 40 flight hours before you can obtain your Private Pilot

7 License, however the national average is higher. Below is an approximation of cost with local price range listed. Also, each individual has slightly different outcomes on completion times of training. Minimum Hours Required Tomahawk - $85 $35/Hr. Cessna $95 $40/Hr. 40 Hours Airplanes $3, $3, Hours Instruction $1, $1, Materials and Exam Fees (FAA Written Test $150) $ $ Flight Test Aircraft Rental $ $ Aircraft Renters Insurance $ $ Approximate Total Cost $5, $6, Most Likely Scenario 40 Hours Airplane $4, $5, Hours Instruction $1, $1, Materials and Exam Fees (FAA Written Test $150) $ $ Flight Test Aircraft Rental $ $ Aircraft Renters Insurance $ $ Approximate Total Cost $7, $7, Please check the most current instruction & rental rates as they may have changed. The rental cost is usually directly related to fuel prices. Cost varies for everyone but is influenced by these two major components (if you are attempting to finish your licenses in the least amount of hours to save on cost, take note of these points.). Fly Often. If your flying is sporadic and inconsistent, or less than two times per week, expect to spent more money. Flying less that twice per week causes your lessons to have more times spent reviewing what was done in the previous lesson than if you were flying regularly and able to just focus on adding new skills to what was learned in the previous lesson. Study Hard. There is book knowledge and studying that is necessary if you are going to pass the test to become a competent pilot. For each hour spent flying expect to spent 2 to 3 hours studying the various books and reading material that goes along with joining the pilot club. Note: The Sport Pilot Licenses requires a minimum of 20 hours of flight training (15 duel instruction and five supervised solo). A better estimation would be more in the range of about hours.
