Question
Mr. David
Thank you for giving the chance and dedicating your time for educating others. My question is:
How long ( Duration/term )of pilot licence and is it possible to be for 5 years?

Thank you
Khalid A. Maimai

Answer
Hello Khalid,
Pilot certificates do not have an expiration date (except for some ratings such as Instructors) With that said, you need to know that to keep your certificate valid you must undergo a flight review every 2 years and must have a current medical certificate from an aviation medical examiner.
I hope this answered your question
