The Private Pilot’s License can be used for recreational purposes or as the start to your professional flying career.

The minimum age for acquiring a PPL is 17 years old. There is no upper age limit providing that you are medically fit. In order to qualify for a PPL, it is mandatory that a Class two aviation medical examination is completed. As part of your enrolment procedure, we will aid in facilitating this.

The Private Pilot’s License course consists of a minimum of 45 hours of flight training and a theoretical knowledge course. Of the total of 45 hours, once you have reached the necessary flying standard, you will be allowed to complete 15 of those hours on your own! You will need a sound understanding of the English language and basic mathematics to be able to cope with the practical and theoretical demands of the course.
