The PPL(A) (Private Pilots Licence) course is the building block of your flying journey. We offer an incredibly high standard of flight instruction with our dedicated team to help you along the way.
The completion of this course will issue you with a CAA Private Pilot's Licence which will allow you to fly single engined light aircraft. This licence will also allow you to add ratings like the IR(R) and night rating to further enhance your flying experience.
The PPL(A) course requires students to complete a minimum of 40 flight hours under instruction.
10 out of the 40 hours will be monitored solo flights and one of these flights must be a solo navigational exercise.
In addition to the above, students must complete a total of 9 invigilated ground examinations and a radiotelephony oral examination.
Finally, students will be required to complete a final skills test conducted by one of the CAA examiners we have on the team.
Prior requirements:
Whilst there is no upper age limit, the current minimum age for a licence to be issued is 17 years old - you can still undergo training before your 17th birthday.
The PPL(A) course also requires you to hold at least a class 2 medical certificate.
