Learning To Fly
Learning to fly is not as hard as you may think. In fact, each year, thousands of Americans, men and women from all walks of life, from high school students to grandparents, learn to fly. Most pilots hold a private pilot's certificate that is the first goal of the student pilot. Some students go on to get an instrument rating or additional certificates, such as commercial, flight instructors or even airline transport pilot. However, most people are content with their private pilot certificate. This allows them to fly themselves and non-paying passengers virtually wherever they want to go in good weather.
