What degree is needed to become an aircraft pilot?

Answer:
Depends on the pilot certificate you want to obtain. No college degree required, but lots of flight training. All require a passing score on FAA written exams, as well as a flight test with an FAA examiner. To become an airline pilot, you will need around 1000 hours of PIC (pilot in command) time and at the very least 50 hours of multiengine time. You will need your Commercial Multiengine certificate, along with a passing score on the ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) written exam. To be an airline captain, you will have to obtain and maintain a 1st class medical certificate as well. Flight training is very expensive. This is a VERY basic and brief rundown, but you get the idea
