Private Pilot Course
A Private Pilot Certificate (or, in the United States, a certificate) permits the holder to operate an aircraft, initially only under visual flight rules. In most countries, including the US, a private pilot possessing an instrument rating may also conduct flights under instrument flight rules. Passengers may be carried and flight in furtherance of a business is permitted as long as it is important to the business; however, a private pilot may not be compensated in any way for services as a pilot and must pay at least the pro rata share of a flight's expenses. Neither passengers nor cargo may be carried for hire. A Private Pilot is also required to be at least 17 years of age, read, speak, write and understand the English language, and maintain at least a third class medical certificate, which is issued by an Aviation Medical Examiner. Standards for each of the three classes of medical certificates may be found in Part 67 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
