    I know I need to go and get my learners permit. Kinda makes me feel like a kid again. Anyway my question is how long is the permit good for after you get it? Is there like a time limit? When I took my pvt pilots test the written was good for 2 yrs. I had to do my practical flight test with an FAA check pilot before the the two yrs were up on my written test. Yes I did pass my flight test the second time the first time I kinda scared the guy with my landings over a 50' obstacle. I know driving a truck is different. Thanks for the replies and comments. petesout

    I live in NC and just got mine and it is only good for 6 months. I got it in April and it says that it expires in October of this year.

    Howdy Petesout,

    Just got to find out what the Iowa state law is. Good luck phoning the DMV. Grab a Commerical License booklet from your local office and it ought to say.

    I think in most states it is only valid for 6 months. Also in some states after your on your second permit you will have a 1 year waiting period before you can get a third permit. So basically get your liscense ASAP it will be cheaper.
