Best Answer: Airline pilots are limited to 100 hours of flying in a month, 30 hours of flying in 7 days and 8 hours of flying a day. Also, I usually get 13-15 days off a month. 8 hours of flying means 10-12 hours on duty,legally limited to 16 hours of duty time. So someone who works 40 hours a week is only working 8 hours over 5 days, where I could be working on 50-60 hours. Also, for those 5 days, I'm not home.
A private license requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight time, a recreational license 30 hours and a sport license 20 hours. In reality, a pilot pursuing a private license will spend on average 70 hours, recreational pilots 44 hours and a sport pilot 33 hours. A pilot's training hours consist of solo and instructor flights, which require renting a plane, paying for gas and for the instructor's time.
