The Steps to a Private Pilot’s License
If you wish to fly light aircraft then you will need to obtain a Private Pilot License, or PPL.
A PPL enables the holder to act as the pilot in command of certain kinds of aircraft.
The training for a PPL usually takes between 45 and 60 hours, depending on the trainee’s previous experience and frequency of lessons. A minimum of 45 hours is required to apply for a licence of which at least 25 are dual hours of training with an instructor and at least 10 supervised solo (which includes at least 5 hours of cross country flight).
The practical side of the training can be generally broken down into three different areas of learning; general handling exercises, circuit flying and navigation.
As well as the practical side of PPL training, there are also written examinations that must be completed. The trainee will need to be well informed on how to fly the aircraft, communication in the air, understanding the weather, among other subjects.
Anyone over the age of 17, with a good bill of health and good eyesight, with or without glasses can apply for their PPL. You can start logging hours at 14 and solo at 16.
