In the United States, a student pilot certificate is issued to a pilot in training, and is a pre-requisite for the student to fly alone in the aircraft, or solo. It is no longer initially issued by a medical doctor who is also an authorized aviation medical examiner (AME), in conjunction with the student's first medical certificate. Instead, as of April 1, 2016, the AME gives the student a medical certificate. With that being said, a medical certificate is required. The classification of the medical does not matter at this time, but it is suggested that the student get a first-class medical to know if he or she can pass the more difficult tests. The student takes the certificate to his or her instructor who then completes an application. All applications are completed on the Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA). This is a Federal Aviation Administration portal that allows for documents and applications to not have to be mailed. The student pilot should fill out the form and have his or her instructor check all forms before submission. The easiest way for this to be accomplished is to sit and fill out the forms with the instructor, as there is a lot of back and forth in the process. The student must fill it out, then the instructor does a portion, then its back to the student, etc. The application is sent to the FAA which will send the student pilot certificate to the student. A temporary certificate should be available after the form has been approved, which takes approximately two weeks. This temporary paper can be used during the actual solo flight until the physical card arrives in the mail. Although this student pilot certificate does not always come right before a solo flight, it is required, and thus earning a student pilot certificate is a sign that a solo flight may be near.
Pilot licensing or certification refers to permits for operating aircraft. They are issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in each country, establishing that the holder has met a specific set of knowledge and experience requirements. This includes taking a flying test. The certified pilot can then exercise a specific set of privileges in that nation's airspace. Despite attempts to harmonize the requirements between nations, the differences in certification practices and standards from place to place serve to limit full international validity of the national qualifications. In addition, U.S. pilots are certified, not licensed, although the word license is still commonly used informally. Legally, pilot certificates can be revoked by administrative action, whereas licensing requires intervention by the judiciary system.
Pilot certification in the United States is typically required for an individual to act as a pilot-in-command of an aircraft. It is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). A pilot may be certified under 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61 or 14 CFR Part 141. Pilots may also be certified under 14 CFR Part 107 for commercial drone operations.

The first solo flight of a new pilot comprises that pilot completing a takeoff, and usually a short flight and safe landing, by him or herself. Flying such a flight is a milestone known as soloing. Being solo pilot of an aircraft is different from most other situations in that the pilot has not only to be able to fly and navigate the machine in a competent manner but he/she also has to be able to cope with unpredictable developments like mechanical failure, bad weather etc. on his/her own and without advice from other sources.
