How Long Would It Take To Get A Pilot's License To Fly A Lear Jet And What Would Lessons Cost?

Can someone start taking Lear Jet Lessons without learning to first fly propeller, single engine Cessnas, etc? If you are a Lear pilot, how long did it take you to get a permit to fly? How expensive was the training? How hard is it to learn for an absolute beginner? What about if you wanted to be a Lear pilot for a company, private jet?

    You can start out with Lear Jet lessons, if you can afford to buy one, but you'd never make it. Not even a private pilots license because they are not easy to fly even for an experienced ATP. I have a little over two thousand hours in Lears of various models but didn't begin my training in them until I'd been flying for more than ten years. For a good instrument multiengine pilot the initial courses are usually about a month at Simuflite or Flight Safety and you can expect to spend about fifteen large. Then you'll still need the real airplane to complete that portion of the check ride that can't be done in the simulator namely three takeoffs and landings in the actual airplane for the initial type rating.

    Essentially, no.

    You have to learn how to walk before you learn how to run.

    If you are interested in getting a job as a pilot, it's important to realize that both pay and working conditions within the industry have changed radically since 9/11...and not for the better. Most airline pilots today will begin and end their careers with commuter airlines and earn less than $35,000 a year as a first officer and less than $60,000 a year as a captain. This is a far cry from the days in which the commuters were a training ground from which most pilots graduated to go fly for major airlines and doubled or tripled those salaries.

    You must fly prop 152 172 first, you cannot just just into start taking lessons in a Lear, when you were born you had to learn haw to crawl before you could walk right? well thats the same with taking flying lessons... getting your Pilots certificate depends on you, and how much you can put out and how often, you can usually get dull jet in about a year to 2 years. by than you should have your commercial certificate, It only took me 6 months after I got my privates, at the age of 17, that was because I was flying since I was 8 with my grandfather, now I have my ATP and a Captain of a major airline company,,,, to lurn more about avaition go to www.aopa.org

    The minimum would be Private pilot, with Lear jet type rating, if it weighs over 12,000 pounds, or a tubo-jet rating if less than 12,000 pounds.

    It would take at least five and probably more like ten years, and you would have at least $20,000 invested in flight instruction before you ever put your hand on the yoke in a corporate jet.

    The new generation of Very Light Jets may change that, but you still will not take your primary training in one, unless you are richer than Bill Gates.

    Would be impossible to fly solo---all Lears require 2 pilots.

    Also, a VFR-only type (no instrument rating) would be of little use.
