Federal Aviation Regulations require a minimum of 40 hours flying time under the supervision of an instructor or until the instructor says the student is ready.  While many students complete requirements in 45-55 hours flying time, some will take more.  On average, about half of the student's flying time will be dual with an instructor and half will be solo time.  Ground school is also recommended.

It is the responsibility of the student to arrange for a T-Craft approved instructor and ground school.  The cost for a student to get his/her private pilot's license varies.  Most students can complete the requirements for approximately $5,000 including flying time, instructor time, ground school, FAA written exam, flight exam with FAA examiner, and physical exam.
