ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Private pilot licence

A private pilot license is like a special piece of paper that allows someone to fly an airplane by themselves.

To get this special paper, a person needs to first learn how to fly an airplane with the help of a professional pilot. They will have to learn lots of different things about airplanes and how they work, like how to take off, steer, and land safely.

Once they have learned how to fly, they will need to pass a test to prove that they know how to do it safely. This test will be given by a government agency that makes sure everyone who flies an airplane does it safely.

If they pass the test, they will receive their very own private pilot license, which will allow them to fly an airplane by themselves. With this license, they can take their friends and family with them on trips and see the world from above. It's like having your very own magic carpet! However, it's important to always follow the rules and safety guidelines to make sure everyone stays safe while flying.
