What are FAA minimum requirements?
FAA minimum requirements are the minimum requirements a student needs in order to obtain a specific certificate or rating. For example, the FAA minimum requirement for a Private Pilot Certificate is 40 hours of flight training. It is important to note, however that minimums are just that, minimums. The average student takes approximately 60 hours to complete the Private Pilot Course. Please keep in mind, most students do require flight instruction above and beyond the FAA minimum flight time requirements.
