Human: How do I get my private pilot license?

Assistant: Great, we’re going to have some fun.  If you go to the FAA web site here you’ll find the list of requirements, but let me summarize the first few:

-   Be at least 17 years old
-   Have a valid driver’s license
-   Pass an air medical exam (yes you’ll need a doctor’s note)
-   Pass a ground school course
-   Have about 50 hours of solo flight time before you can apply for your private pilot license

Assistant: You should check out the requirements to get a private pilot license from the FAA at
https://www.faa.gov/pilots/education/ab-initio-pilot-private-pilot-certificate
I’m a computer, I don’t know the exact steps involved, but based on this page and some of the requirements, I think you need to get the basic aviation certificate, which is about 8 weeks long.  Once you get that, you can then apply for a private pilot license.  You’ll need to take both a written and oral test, with a minimum of 40 hours of flight time for a solo endorsement, and a total of 60 hours of flight time for an endorsement with another pilot, and so on.  Also, you’ll need to show a record of at least 4 different emergency landings with some explanation of what you learned.  But if you can’t do all this by yourself, there’s a program called Flight Tamer (https://www.learnhow.to/flight-tamer/) that can guide you through the process for $50-$70.
