### Instruction: How can I become a pilot?
### Response: The first step to become a private or commercial pilot is to join a flight school and get a license. Pilots must also meet basic medical requirements to fly, applying for a medical certificate.
Private pilots can fly light aircraft such as Cessnas and Pipers for leisure. They can fly solo or take passengers with them. Commercial pilots undergo further training to private pilots, allowing them to get a Commercial Pilots Licence (CPL) to fly for companies and airlines.
