This kind of question is pretty easily answered on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_certifi...e_United_States
But you might want to call the best flight school in your area or visit their website for very specific answers to very specific questions.
Hope this helps.

Hey aerosup,
Well, first you have to be medically qualified to be a pilot. You need to obtain a medical certificate. There are three classes: first, second, and third. My advice is to go for the first class as it will offer you the best benefits. After you've passed your physical and obtained your medical then you should browse for a good flight school. That is if you're on a civilian route. There's also the option of being a military pilot. One of the major advantage of this is that the military will pay for your flight training which is rare in flight training. The disadvantage is that you'll have to commit to serving for your country for an X amount of time. So there are pros and cons for both civilian and military routes. So whichever route you take, I wish you the best of luck. The road to being a pilot isn't easy, but once you earn your wings it'll be extremely rewarding.
