PPL(A)
The Private Pilot Licence is for anyone interested in starting a career as an airline transport pilot or flying for their own purposes and enjoyment. The PPL(A) is the starting point for qualifying to fly at night or in instrument flying conditions and, of course, to fly twin-engine aircraft.
The PPL pilot theory consists of 100 hours, the student will learn the theoretical basics in 9 subjects, the first is an introduction to the laws of the air, meteorology, which is then interwoven with the basics of flight and an essential component is air traffic communication and human performance. After 50 hours, theory will alternate with flight practice, during which the student will begin to encounter the subjects of operational procedures, flight planning and execution, one of the last subjects will be air navigation, which the student will become familiar with before flying navigation flights, the end of the entire theoretical training will be an examination at the Civil Aviation Authority.
After completing at least 50 hours of theory, the student begins practical training, which consists of 45 hours in the aircraft. The first flights are for the student to familiarize themselves with the aircraft, and to gradually master basic piloting. After mastering the basic flight characteristics, the student moves on to the critical phases of flight, which include takeoffs and landings. Once the student learns to take off and land safely, the instructor may allow him to take his first solo flight. When the student completes all independent flights around the circuit, he moves on to navigation flying, where he also completes many flights with an instructor, followed by independent navigation flights. The conclusion of practical training is the easy mastery of instrument flying. After completing the entire training, only an exam with an Examiner follows. If successful, the student receives his own pilot license.
