EASA Private Pilots Licence Course (Aeroplanes)

The Private Pilots Licence (PPL) training course teaches you how to fly an aeroplane so that you can do it in your aircraft by yourself! The course teaches the important foundations of flying and navigational skills that will be built upon for the rest of your flying, and is also the first part of your modular training if you are training to become a commercial pilot.

Private Pilots Licence Course Entry Requirements

There are no specific pre-entry requirements before commencing your PPL course. You may wish to consider an introductory aeroplane flying lesson so that you can experience learning to fly. The flight time during your introductory flying lesson can also be counted towards your PPL licence course so that time is not wasted. Further details are available and you can even book a full introductory day so that you can experience a full training day and still count these flying hours towards your PPL course requirements.

Private Pilots License or PPL Flying Experience

The PPL licence requires a minimum of 45 flying hours experience in total. These hours consist of:

35 dual flying training hours (training with an instructor in the aeroplane with you)
10 supervised solo flying training hours (training without an instructor in the aeroplane with you)
