Private Pilot’s Licence Details and Key Information

PPL stands for ‘Private Pilot’s Licence’ and is effectively the aviation equivalent of a drivers licence, in that it entitles you to pilot an aircraft privately and with non-commercial passengers. A PPL is more akin to a foundation for pilot training which you can then build experience and add additional flying privileges.

How much will it cost me?

The PPL packages start from 7,905. The PPL includes the minimum required 45 hours of flying time. Alternatively, we offer PPL  from just a few dollars for our clients, allowing you to fly your light aircraft with a licence in as much time as you wish.

Despite the requirement for 45hrs tuition for the PPL, the national average is between 55 and 60 hours, and most student pilots finish comfortably in this range. However 45 hours is more than possible provided you can maintain continuity without large breaks in learning, but you’ll find that flying is a relatively large commitment and most people just simply enjoy being up in the air so an extra few dollars is simply licence to fly in any case!

How long will it take to pass?

Currently there is no time limit as to how long the PPL course will take to complete. The syllabus requires a minimum of 45 flight hours though the average PPL student completes a course in around 60 hours. Subsequently due to various factors including weather conditions and student’s availability, the course can be completed in as little as two months or in excess of two years.

What’s the Course Format?

The basic course is split in to 9 theoretical sections, and three main phases of practical flying training. The theoretical aspect is examined with multiple choice exams in Meteorology, Navigation, Communications, Flight Performance & Planning, Human Factors, Air Law, Operational Procedures, Aircraft General Knowledge and Principles of Flight. These sound intimidating, but don’t require any prior knowledge of aviation, although an enthusiasm to learn is helpful! Generally, students don’t have too many problems with the theoretical aspect of the course and our instructors are always available to give advice. Ground school is provided, and all exams are taken on site.

The practical side of the course progresses from general handling to circuits and finally navigation. The first includes learning about the controls and the effects they have on the aircraft and the second learning to perform take-offs and landings and fly into airports and aerodromes. The final element covers all the practical aspects of navigation and builds up to the exam which you take to complete your private pilot’s licence.
