How long does learning to fly take?
If you're looking to obtain your Private Pilot License (PPL), it's possible to achieve it in as little as three months, although most people take around 12 months. The length of your training largely depends on your dedication and drive. The FAA mandates a minimum requirement of 40 hours for a PPL, but it usually takes individuals between 50-70 hours to complete their training on average.
