This is the bare minimum for earning the Private Pilot license, the first license in a series that goes up to Air Transport Pilot (ATP). There are, of course, specific requirements for flight hours in various categories (such as solo flight, night flight, simulated instrument flight, etc.) for the Private Pilot license. This is in addition to a passing score on a written examination, a satisfactory practical examination, and a satisfactory flight physical by a physician authorized by the FAA to perform physical exams for private pilots.
Even a basic 'private pilots licence' requires at LEAST 40 hours flying experience - and passes is numerous exams. there are no 'shortcuts' !

To become a private pilot, you have to train at least 35 hours on the ground, plus however long it takes to fly an aircraft well enough to pass the practical test. For commercial pilots, you need to have thousands of hours of experience.
go to flight school and get a private license The above answer is only a start. To become a private jet pilot you will need a commercial pilots license, an instrument rating, a multi engine rating and quite a bit of flight experience (Say 1500 hours as a very rough estimate). The more complex the aircraft you get the experience in the better (but also more expensive). Like with everything else, it helps to know people.
The working hours of military pilots is 24/7.
The FAA requires 40 hours but most people (including myself) take more instruction depending on the type of aircraft one wishes to pilot. The average is between 60 and 65 hours.
The requirements for a pilots license are dictated by the FAA. Since the FAA is a federal institution, the requirements are nation-wide. So the requirements for a pilots license in California is the same as it is in any other state.

Generally when someone is using the generic term "pilots license" they are referring to the private pilot certificate. The requirements for a private pilots license are: Be at least 17 years of age Be able to read, write and speak the English language Third class or better FAA medical certificate Pass a computerized or written knowledge test Have at least the following logged flight experience 40 hours total logged flight time 20 hours dual instruction with a certified flight instructor 10 hours of solo time (with certain requirements for cross-country flights) 3 hours of instruction on flying by instruments only 3 hours of night flying 10 takeoffs and 10 full-stop landings 3 solo takeoffs and full-stop landings Able to pass an oral exam and checkride by an FAA-designated examiner.

All things told, if you scrimp and pinch every penny, you can get this done for about $5000 To get started, or just to see if its right for you, contact your nearest flight school and ask about an introductory flight. They'll usually have an hour or half-hour intro flight for $100 or so where you get to fly the plane and experience some of the thrill. The bug will either bite you or it wont.
The duration of The Three Pilots is 1.33 hours.
Yes you must have at least 24 to 50 hours private flying experience(depending on airline) My answer: Yes
The structural makeup of the jets are just as good as commercial one. There are differences in the requirements and requirements for private jet pilots, therefore some may lack the hours of flying experience.
