Pilot licensing and certification
Størstedelen af piloterne har et privat pilotcertifikat. For at opnå et privat pilotcertifikat skal man være mindst 17 år gammel og have mindst 35-45 timers flyvetid, herunder mindst 20 timers dobbeltundervisning og 10 timers soloflyvning. Piloter, der er uddannet i henhold til de fremskyndede læseplaner, der er beskrevet i del 141 i Federal Aviation Regulations, kan opnå certifikatet med mindst 35 timers flyvetid. Private piloter må ikke flyve mod betaling eller leje. De kan dog befordre passagerer, så længe piloten har den relevante uddannelse, rettigheder og påtegninger. Private piloter skal have en aktuel klasse III-lægeundersøgelse, som skal fornyes hver 24. eller 60. måned (afhængigt af alder). Desuden skal privatpiloter forny deres pilotcertifikater hver 24. måned ved at foretage en flyvekontrol med en certificeret flyveinstruktør (CFI).

In addition, private pilots must re-validate their pilot certificates every 24 months by undertaking a flight review with a certificated flight instructor (CFI).
