Like driving, you'll have to learn flying's "rules of the road." This is part of "ground school" which you'll do by studying with a small group in a classroom, or one–on–one with your instructor, or at home with a computer based or DVD based training courses. When you're ready, you'll take a computerized exam to confirm that you've learned those rules of the sky. 

 

You'll need to get your "learner's permit" for aviation called a student pilot certificate. Depending upon the type of pilot's license you're pursuing, you may need to undergo a brief medical exam that simply requires you to be in good health.  Go to Flight Physical to find a certified FAA doctor in your area. Prior to starting your flight training, you'll need to prove your U.S. citizenship  and submit the documentation to your instructor.
