The Private Pilot’s Licence is the first and most basic qualification obtained by pilots which qualifies them to fly single engine aircraft. The PPL allows the student to act as Pilot in Command (PIC) of most single engine, piston-powered, fixed-wing aircraft during the day, in Visual Meteorological Conditions, and to carry passengers.
Most students will have very little or no flight time experience when starting the course. It is vital that PPL training is maintained to a high standard, as it is by definition the foundation of a pilot’s skills and their qualities as an airman. For this reason, it is extremely important that the correct techniques, skills, and disciplines are taught from the beginning.
