FLIGHT TRAINING
PRIVATE PILOTS LICENCE
The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) is the foundation for your modular training. We also have many students who opt to complete their PPL for their own recreational flying.
The course consists of 30 hours of dual training and 10 hours of supervised solo.
We sell the PPL course in 15-hour packages, followed by smaller package top-ups. They include the equipment required for that stage of your training. We also have pay-as-you-go options available; please contact us for more info.
The PPL training covers navigation, general aircraft handling, emergency training, circuits, solo flight and preparation for the PPL skill test.
Many of our students complete the PPL as part of our modular flowchart. More information on that can be found here.
