To operate an aircraft in the United States, you must be licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which since 9/11 is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). There are several levels of pilot's license; the most basic is the Private Pilot license. This license permits the holder to pilot an aircraft anywhere in the United States, and to carry passengers. A Private Pilot may not be paid to fly an aircraft (to ferry an aircraft from one location to another, for example), nor carry passengers or cargo for hire or compensation. However, you may share certain expenses with your passengers (with some restrictions).

The necessary steps to earn this license are:

Pass a basic medical examination.
Receive the required amount of instruction from a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI).
Pass a written examination (100 multiple-choice questions).
Pass a "checkride" (aircraft equivalent of a driving test) given by an FAA-approved examiner.
