Theory studies can take place at school in a one-on-one format so you don’t have to wait until a group has formed.
The theoretical training comprises 100 hours of self-study and lectures with the instructors.
Practical training
The training for PPL consists of the theoretical part, which is followed by the practical one. The practical training curriculum includes minimum 45 hours of training flights according to PART-FCL regulations for the PPL(A) and it is done in three stages (tasks):
- Mastering basic skills in a training area and making aerodrome circuit flights (with an instructor and solo)
- Basic instrument flights
- Navigational cross-country and VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flights.
After completing these three stages, the student pilot masters the skill of independent, safe flight performance according to the PPL(A) specifications.
Goals and Qualifications
The purpose of the PPL(A) course is to prepare the student pilot for safe and efficient flying according to VFR rules. The thorough and comprehensive theoretical preparation will allow the student pilot to use his knowledge during the practical part.
After completing the training and receiving the license the pilot will be rated to fly single-engine planes with maximum take-off weight of 5700 kg. In Poland, the number of aerodromes is increasing and there is an airport in every major Polish city. Therefore, if a pilot wants to fly- even the sky is not the limit!
