The standard Pilot's License is a Private Pilot License, but in the United States there are two other lower levels of licenses: Recreational Pilot and Sport Pilot. A person interested in flying as a career could use one of these as a step toward his Private Pilot license, or he could get a the Private license as his first one. His next step would a an Instrument Rating which allows him to fly in clouds and restricted visibilities, then a Commercial License, which means he can now fly for pay in some cases. A Multi-engine Rating prepares him to fly airplanes with more than one engine. A Type Rating is required for each make and model of jet aircraft. or an aircraft weighing over 12,500 pounds. An Airline Transport Pilot license (ATP) is required to fly large transports such as commercial airline passenger airplanes.
