Furthermore, is getting a pilot's license worth it?
Also, unless you have an instrument rating to go along with your PPL (private pilot's license), you will be restricted to flying in good weather only. TL:DR- It's probably only worth it if you really just enjoy flying for its own sake, rather than as a money or time-saving practicality.
Beside above, is flying your own plane cheaper? A modestly capable airplane costs about $200/hour to operate (if flown regularly and/or shared with others) and goes almost 200 mph, so budget a bit over $1/mile as a minimum. There's an old saying about private aircraft flying: "When you've got time to spare, go by air."
Correspondingly, how many lessons does it take to fly a plane?
The average pilot will need between 55 and 60 hours of training to pass their test. Depending on how much spare time you have, therefore, getting your PPL can take anywhere from a few weeks to two years.
Is getting your private pilot license hard?
The material is not overwhelmingly difficult, but there is a lot of it. Learning the physical skills to fly the plane takes time. It's difficult in the sense that you're just going to have to practice some things over and over and over until you get them right. I'm learning to be a private pilot through a college.
