The first step to becoming a pilot is deciding what type of flying you'll be doing, which will determine what level of pilot license you'll need. There are 4 basic types of pilot's licenses:

- Recreational Pilot: Permits: a pilot to fly with friends and family aboard, but only within the country of issuance.

- Private Pilot: Fly only with friends and family aboard, but valid all over the world.
Commercial Pilot: Allows the holder to fly large jet aircraft commercially, but not as a captain.

- Airline Transport Pilot: Permits the licensee to fly aircraft for a living anywhere in the world, and includes the certification to fly jets as Captain.

- Besides the class of pilot license, there are also additional certifications required depending upon the type of aircraft the pilot will fly...

Multi-Engine Rating: The holder is licensed to fly an aeroplane with more than one engine.

Instrument Rating: The holder is licensed to fly at night, in clouds, and poor weather.

Float Rating: The holder is licensed to take off and land on water in an aeroplane equipped with floats.
