Private
Pilot Licence
Learning to fly:
Whether you plan on flying purely for pleasure
or a career, you have to start at the beginning.
The Private Pilot Licence is where your adventure
in aviation starts.
Once in possession of your Private Pilot Licence:
- You are permitted to carry passengers
- Fly for business
- Fly for pleasure

If your ultimate goal is to become a professional
pilot, you will have to obtain a
Commercial Pilot Licence. The starting
point however,
remains
the Private Pilot Licence.
