Flying as a Hobby
Where can you fly with a Private Pilot Certificate? Just about anywhere you want! There are some restricted areas here and there but with this certificate you are able to explore virtually every part of the US and can even fly to other countries. There are over 5,000 public airports in the US, so the possibilities really are endless.
Whether simply taking a friend or family member up to show them a new perspective, traveling for vacation or even just to grab breakfast, you’ll truly understand life is about the journey, not the destination.
As a pilot, you may be able to rent planes from a fixed-base operator (FBO) at your local airport, a flying club, or flight school, if you don’t have an airplane of your own.
