The steps to get your Private Pilot Licence

To get started on your journey towards obtaining a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or a Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL), you must meet the following essential criteria and complete several stages of training:

• Age: You must be at least 16 years old to qualify for training.
• Medical Certificate: Obtain a Class 2 or LAPL medical certificate from an EASA-authorized Aeromedical Examiner (AME) in your country. This certificate is crucial as it verifies your physical fitness to operate an aircraft safely.
• Theoretical Knowledge Training: The training can be conducted online or on site, providing flexibility to suit your preferences and circumstances. You are required to pass examinations in nine key subjects to ensure a comprehensive understanding of aviation. These subjects include Air Law, Human Performance, Meteorology, Communications, Navigation, Principles of Flight, Operational Procedures, Flight Performance and Planning, and Aircraft General Knowledge. Mastery of these topics is essential for safe and effective flying.
• Flight training: The flight training demands a minimum of 45 hours for the PPL and 30 hours for the LAPL. These hours are designed to provide substantial hands-on experience, essential for skill development.
• Examination by an Authorized Examiner: After completing your flight training, you must pass a practical skill test. This test assesses your ability to operate an aircraft safely and competently, covering various aspects of flight from pre-flight preparations to emergency handling.
• ICAO Level 4 English Proficiency: You are required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language to at least the operational level as stipulated by ICAO standards. This ensures effective communication in international airspace.
