    Default Pilot license

    So my question is, are any organs pilots? I'm asking about PPL, but information on just about any kind of flying license is welcome. Are about 90 hours enough to confidently command a 2 engine turboprop aircraft during the night?

    I'm considering getting a PPL in the next few months, and was wondering how the procedure might work out.

    Cheers

    Not a pilot myself, but I have several friends in the flight program at my college. I can pass along your query if you like.

    I'm not because I've never had the time to actually go to get the licence, but I will during my next summers off, money permitting.

    Regular pilot. Managed to land the 747 at O'Hare International. Damn bird lost an engine, almost collided with another plane. Gears down, hit the brakes and my mission is accomplished.


    Oh wait......you mean a real pilot? Oh no, not me.
