The requirement for a private pilot certificate is 40 hours in a non-approved school, and 35 hours in an approved school. However, since most people require 60 to 75 hours of training, this difference may be insignificant for a private pilot certificate.
This includes 20 hours of dual flight time with a certified flight instructor and 20 hours of solo flight time. If you already have a private pilot's license, you need 30 hours of helicopter flight time, 20 hours with an instructor and 10 solo hours. According to the Professional Helicopter Pilots Association, it can take 30 to 50 hours of flight time before you are ready to take your practical test.
