Hey guys, hope all is well. First flight is coming up within the next couple weeks, and very much looking forward to it 
getting medical taken care of next week!
But another question for you, and I know I might be jumping the gun given my lack of experience 
Could anyone elaborate on what training requirements need to be met to rent a small single engine plane out solo, say for a weekend trip? PPL and IFR I would assume, but does CFI also factor into this?
Adam,
If youâre training with ATP they do not rent airplanes and there is no recreational flying. In fact if youâre with ATP you probably wonât want to see an airplane on your days off.
If youâre not training with ATP most FBOâs require at least your Private license and also require you to be âchecked outâ in the airplane and signed off by one of their instructors.

Adam,
Most schools will require a PPL and a checkout from one of their instructors.
ATP does not rent their airplanes out.

Ok. I wasnât thinking from ATP necessarily, but more so a local mom and pop rental company. Was just curious on what type of documentation I should be prepared to show when I reach that level. Thanks!
Adam,
You need a Private license and medical and again youâll be required to get checked out.
