The first license, and for some, the only license, that you will work toward. The Private License allows a pilot to carry passengers and to fly to any airport in the country. With the Private License a pilot can fly many types of airplanes and experience new and wonderful possibilities. In order to be eligible for a Private License, a candidate needs to be at least 17 years old and have 40 hours of flying time. The student will fly cross-country flights, which are flights to airports at least 50 miles from Goshen, fly at night, and perform and become proficient at various maneuvers that will be demonstrated by the Flight Instructor. Students will need to take and pass a FAA written exam as well as a practical exam.
