Question
What are the requirements I need to become a pilot?  

Answer
Hi Obi!
I do assume that you are located in USA. In USA in order to become an pilot you have to start taking flight lessons at an local airport. You have to complete all tasks that is required for an student pilot in order to sucessfull solo fly. In reality you will need about 60-70 hours to get your private pilot license and that give you ability to fly an airplane as pilot in commmand. In order to apply for an private pilot license examination you have to complete an knowledge exam and have current medical cert class 3 and complete an oral and flight portion of exam, and you have to be at least 17 years old and you have to have good knowledge of English language (foreign students).
This again basic and first license that you have to get in your career as an pilot.

Good Luck
