My friend knows how to fly a passenger plane, thats already hard enough ;D Well it depends on what type of plane you want to fly. All I know is it takes time to master ALL the controls :D good luck bro

I got to fly a dual glider once. Like the instructor taught me a few things and still did most of the piloting and landed it of course. It's pretty sweet, got so sick going in circles lol but I didn't throw up haha. It's very fun but to actually fly a plane must be tough.

Oh by the way does X-Plane 9 (an airplane flying app) help you out a bit?

I flew a Cessna 172 four or five times a week over the summer. Officially, it was my cousin flying(yeah... idk how'd they feel about a 15yo renting a plane and flying it), but he's been giving me lessons for around two years. Maybe 2 hours a week?

Oh well... 2 months, 10 days until I can begin starting to get mine... :/ Need to be 16 to begin training, and 17 to get the license...

Try going out and buying a professional (or at least realistic) flight simulator. It will help you out. A friend of mine got his license a year ago. He said that after mastering the simulator, the training and test was pretty simple.

Ok! Thanks man :)

How about the app X-Plane 9? You fly different planes but you don't feel like the rumbling
