Any pilots here? Anyone who owns and flies their own airplane around?

No, but i was thinking about getting cesna pilot license and buying cesna. Given the current car and gas prices, might be cheaper to use it lol -
Haha, you're going to want to get your private pilot license and then your instrument rating. Not sure you're going to be overly "impressed" by owning a single engine piston airplane in most parts of the country
But, you can get a TBM or a PC12... but that's going to require a few more bucks.

Cesna pilot license is quite cheap, like 500 euros if i remember correctly. But if you want to get commercial flight license, that is whole different game - cost around 43k . Which makes me wonder how does anyone become a commercial flight pilot. considering that cost.Haha, you're going to want to get your private pilot license and then your instrument rating.

Cessna's can be bought from 40k euroes, and another option is to simply rent, which is quite convenient if you want arrive from one city to another fast and there are no commercial flights available.Comment

I've had three. First was a '67 Piper PA-28/140, second was a Pulsar XP, third was a Glasair 1 that I got completed to about 65%, then converted it to a down payment on my house 20 years ago.
I was also a military Air Traffic Controller.Comment

I set out for a commercial license in the early 70's. Back then the airlines did not like re-training military pilots. Shortly thereafter, the Viet Nam war ended and dumped a huge surplus of military pilots on the market. I was told it would take 10 years for the market to absorb these pilots. It turns out that was a pretty accurate prediction. So I moved on to something else, but never lost the fun of flying. My Cessna 150 back then cost $5k. Don't know what it's worth now.Comment

I rode in a Cessna 208 Caravan today
I took a few intro lessons in a Cirrus 12 years ago... They were trying to sell me hard on a license package but it wasn't really my thing and impossible to justify.Comment

Thinking about getting an Ultra Light... cheaper than buying a sports car...
Ultra Light licenses are easy to get, less hours are needed, you dont need medical clearances but you can only fly these planes, during the day, in good weather, at lower altitudes and with 1 passenger.

254 pounds is the limit. Maximum speed of 63mph at full power in level flight, and stall speed no greater than 24mph.
The plane in the photo will not meet any of that. An ultralight must meet all three.
I think you have Ultra Light and LSA confused.Comment

I am looking to get a pilots license for small Cesna planes this year. I fly often with a friend of mine and I love it. I have flown myself as co-pilot but never took-off or landed of course. I have no plans to buy a new plane but might pickup a used one in a few years.
If you have never flown in a small 2 or 4 seater plane before I highly suggest it. It's alot of fun.Comment

I am just the opposite. I LOVE heights, and LOVE flying. The only part I hate about flying is the long security lines when travelling but otherwise I look forward to every flight I take.Comment

If you wanna be that way about it... the plane you posted a picture of, would not even qualify as an LSA because of it's retractable landing gear, variable pitch propellor, and speed.
People often waste their money getting into an aircraft that is beyond their means.
You would need a regular private pilot certificate to legally fly that.

Why the attitude?
Pilots generally like to help those interested in flying. You posted a complex aircraft and labeled it as an ultralight, so I tried to help...
The other plane you posted is pretty, but get some training. Ask for spin training, as it's not usually included in sport pilot or private pilot certificates.
The first time you're testing the flight envelope in your new-to-you sport plane and you see how it handles a stall and you experience a wing drop and spin, if you're not trained you'll become a lawn dart.Comment

I bought a piece of equipment called a car at some point.
I packed myself into the 1 square meter square called the driver's seat and I realized, there is nowhere to go to in it.Comment

Owning an airplane is not much different than owning a motorcycle. Financially or otherwise. Pretty much the only difference is you can keep one of them in your garage. It just depends on how far you range out of the ordinary.Comment

I had a private license to fly a Robin DR400 in the 80s.

This thread delivers.
Every time I drive past the North Las Vegas airport signs for flying lessons, I'm like hmmmm. Always been curious about flying.
Then again, if they ever manufacture the Cybertruck I pre-ordered, who knows if I'll even be driving a car, much less a plane.Comment

If I remember correctly, you'll fly solo with as little as 8 hours instruction. You'll likely be practicing touch and goes with your instructor and after landing he'll jump out of the plane and tell you to keep going. It's a surprise move. There you are, on the runway and it's time to solo. Exhilarating! The remaining 32 hours is flying and learning navigation. It's definitely an experience you should not pass up.Comment

Um, not quite. There's a "list of things" you have to do and meet.
How things are structure will depend if it's a part 61 or part 141 school/program. The time requirements are also dependent on wether it's 61 or 141.
But, when you're instructor feels like the student is ready, the student will go up into the pattern and do a feel laps solo.Comment
