Certificates and Ratings
| Private Pilot | Recreational Pilot | |
| The Private Pilot certificate is the "first step" for most pilots, especially for those who intend to pursue a career in aviation. The Private Pilot certificate qualifies you to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying passengers and baggage. The private pilot (who does not hold an instrument rating) may only fly under good weather conditions (VFR). Details... | The Recreational Pilot certificate qualifies you to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying one passenger. It is possible to attain this certificate in less time and for less cost than a Private Pilot certificate. However, your flying priviledges are subject to more restrictions than a person who holds a Private Pilot certificate. Details... | |
| Instrument Rating | Multi-Engine Rating | |
| The instrument rating equips you with the exacting skills needed to fly in the clouds and under conditions of reduced visibility. This rating is the most frequent "next step" taken by private pilots seeking to advance their aeronautical education. Details... | Another common upgrade to the private pilot certificate is the multiengine rating. This qualifies you to fly "twins," or airplanes with two engines. The multi is a virtual necessity for pilots planning a career in aviation. Details... | |
| Commercial Pilot Certificate | Flight Instructor Certificate | |
| Although it is a standard check-off for the person planning to fly for a living, the commercial certificate also is a good way for the recreational flier to gain increased confidence and become more professional in the cockpit.
