Requirements and details

Rating and requirements

The PPL(A) allows you to fly as pilot-in-command in non-commercial operations in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) on single-engine aeroplanes. The licence is also the foundation for a career in aviation.

  • You must be at least 17 years old.
  • A medical certificate of at least class 2 is required before your first solo flight.

Flight training

At least 45 hours of flight training. Previous experience can be credited in some cases, for example if you hold an LAPL(A) or a glider licence with a TMG rating. The training is divided into two phases:

  • Basic flying with an instructor (exercises 1–17), preparing you for your first solo.
  • Navigation flights and development into a qualified pilot, with an instructor and solo (exercises 18–21).
