Where do you learn to fly a jet plane?

I know you can go to various small airports to learn how to fly a single-motored propeller plane. I have one (airport) that teaches you how to fly a couple of miles away.


But, my question is, where do you go to learn how to fly a plane that has jets instead of propellers?


Thanks.|||If you have the bucks (as in millions to spend)you could buy one and hire a Instructor that is properly rated to train you.


(John Travolta did.) It is possible to obtain your Private Pilot certificate in a jet, but this is very unusual path. Legalities aside, no Insurance company in the world will cover the aircraft with you as PIC (Pilot in Command)until you have hundreds if not thousands of hours of experience








OR...... you could go to one of many flight training "schools"

OR.... go to college%26amp; receive a degree, enlist in the Armed Services, receive flight training at the taxpayers expense.





|||First you get your private certificate, and, if you want to, you can add the instrument rating and multi-engine ratings after you have enough hours of flight experience. You can also become a commercial pilot if you wish.





All of this will be done only in piston engine propeller airplanes. (By the way, always say "engine," rather than "motor.") You will usually need about 1,500 hours of flight experience before you will have an opportunity to fly a pure jet airplane.





The process is similar in the military, though if you qualify as a flight officer, they will usually put you in a jet airplane with fewer hours of overall flight time, if you do well and have a good record.





Good luck.|||I am an FAA-certificated flight instructor. There are no minimum hours needed to fly jets in general although some particular type ratings will carry some minimums. The real thing that limits your access to jet training is money, although no jet training program would accept you without already having a pilot certificate (earned in propeller airplanes) and probably at least 300 hours (with a good bit of that in twin-engine airplanes). But to answer your question, you would go to one of the national training schools such as ATP, Phoenix, Delta Academy, or any number of other ones. In the real world, you can expect to need substantial amount of multi-turbine time and probably 1000+ hours to be accepted into a company training program.|||Simple answer - you can't.





You have to start on the propeller jets and get used to the handling and control of an airplane at slower speeds before you are allowed anywhere near the jets.


If you are serious go to your local airport and take a few lessons, if you like it enough, pursue it. It will cost a lot and it will take time to work up to the jets, but it will be worth it if you do.|||I did my first jet training at a type rating school located on a general aviation airport. The school next door taught props. I had an ATP, CFI/MEI/CFII and about 2,900 hours total time. A few years later, I obtained my second jet type rating at Flight Safety in a Level D sim, courtesy of my employer at the time. Google the aircraft type (e.g., CE-560, CE-525) and "type rating" and you'll get some idea of who's out there. I might add that if you think initial training (Comm-multi-instrument, etc.) in props is expensive, the real expensive training is jet type ratings. (e.g., G-IV, G-V/550, CE-680, etc.) Makes the other training look cheap. Good luck.


P.S. The school where I got my 1st type rating required at least 1,500 hours total and a Comm-multi-instrument. In my class of 3, we were all ATP's and I was the low man with 2,900 hours. One of the guys had other type ratings.|||Start here

Still the rewards are awesome.|||You have to start with small, single engine propeller aircraft before you move up to jets. |||The Instrucotors at Pinnacle will help you out: www.pinnacleacademy.com
