A pilot licence is made up of three parts that cost money: the theory course, the flight training and the fees to the Swedish Transport Agency and the aviation medical examiner. Here we go through what each part costs with us, so you can work out the full amount before you decide.
Theory and flying with eFlight
The prices cover your training with us, theory and flying together. All prices include VAT, and the flight training is paid in instalments during the course.
| Licences | Theory course | Flight training | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| PPL | SEK 18,500 | From SEK 125,000 | From SEK 144,900 |
| LAPL | SEK 18,500 | From SEK 82,900 | From SEK 100,000 |
The flight price is based on the minimum number of hours required. If you need more hours, you pay the hourly rate for each extra hour.
| Licences | Flight training | Hourly rate |
|---|---|---|
| PPL | At least 45 hours | Approx. SEK 2,720 per block hour in a Cessna 172 |
| LAPL | At least 30 hours | Approx. SEK 2,720 per block hour in a Cessna 172 |
Additional fees
On top of the training, you pay fees to the Swedish Transport Agency and for the medical examination. The fees below apply from 1 January 2026. See Regulations and forms for the full list.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Theory exam at the Swedish Transport Agency | SEK 1,000 |
| Skill test | SEK 5,200 |
| Licence issue | SEK 600 |
| Class 2 medical certificate | SEK 2,760 |
| Examination by an aviation medical examiner | approx. SEK 1,500 |
| Annual licence fee | SEK 650 per year |
Flying club membership is also extra, as is supplementary material such as charts and a flight computer. What we recommend is listed under Requirements and details on the course page.
Worked example for the PPL
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Theory and flying with us | From SEK 144,900 |
| Exams and licence | SEK 6,800 |
| Medical certificate including examination | approx. SEK 4,260 |
| Club membership and material | At the flying club's and shop's prices |
So allow just over SEK 11,000 in fees on top of the training, plus club membership and material. How many extra flying hours you need varies from person to person and depends, among other things, on how often you fly.
How to keep costs down
- Fly often. Long breaks mean you have to repeat exercises, which costs extra hours.
- Choose the LAPL if you do not need what the PPL gives you. The training is shorter. Read more in PPL or LAPL?
- Study the theory by distance learning. You can follow the lessons via video link if you cannot attend in person, which saves travel.
- Start with a trial lesson before you decide.
What does an instrument rating or add-on rating cost?
Once you have your PPL, you can add more ratings. The prices cover theory and flying together. The range depends on how much previous experience can be credited.
| Rating | Total cost |
|---|---|
| CB-IR, instrument rating | SEK 54,900–139,900 |
| BIR, Basic Instrument Rating | SEK 34,900–110,100 |
| Night rating (NR) | From SEK 17,100 |
| PBN | From SEK 7,800 |
| SEP with EFIS | From SEK 11,160 |
| ENCA, electric flight | From SEK 9,800 |
