Question
What are the core demands  to becoming a pilot?

Answer
Miguel,
I'm not quite sure what you are asking but I'll give you the basics.

There are several stages that you may take to become a pilot depending on what you want to do.  The first stage is to become a private pilot.  To obtain that certificate you must have ground instruction and take a written test.  You also must have a minimum of 40 hrs of flight instruction and take a flight test. And lastly, you must have a medical certificate from a Aviation Medical Examiner. This will allow you to fly a single engine airplane and take passengers. It can require more training if you want to fly with retractable gear etc.
If you choose to go on, you can get a multi engine rating, an Instrument rating, a commercial certificate and the list goes on.

I hope that this is what you are looking for.  If not, please let me know.  Contact me again and be specific.
