The PPL(A) license is the gold standard international license for flying light aircraft. You can fly a UK registered aircraft anywhere in the world. You’ll need a minimum of 40 hours training and an appropriate medical. You will need a PPL(A) if you wish to go to commercial training later at an Approved Training Organisation (ATO).
Your journey will look something like this:
With your PPL(A) or NPPL(A) you can add a Night Rating or IMC Rating.
The Night Rating permits you to fly aircraft at night which is a very rewarding experience, usually at an international standard airport like Blackpool.
The Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) Rating permits you to fly by instruments alone – so that’s in cloud or poor weather, including flying instrument approaches just like the commercial airliners do.
We have a large group of friendly instructors for NPPL(A), PPL(A), Night and IMC Ratings. Our instructors have thousands of hours experience teaching people like you to fly.
