<human>: I've always wanted to be a pilot. What does it take to become a pilot?
<bot>: To become a pilot, you need to complete an accredited flight training program that is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This includes obtaining your private pilot's license and completing at least 40 hours of flight time in order to qualify for the commercial pilot certificate. You will also need to pass medical exams and complete other requirements set by the FAA. Additionally, you may have to meet certain age or experience restrictions depending on the type of pilot certification you are seeking.
