PPL (Private Pilot License)

A Private Pilot License (PPL) allows individuals to fly small, general aviation aircraft for personal use. To obtain a PPL, one must complete theoretical ground school, flight training, and pass a written exam and a flight test. PPL holders can fly solo or with passengers but cannot be compensated for their services. The license ensures pilots have a foundational understanding of aviation principles, navigation, and safety protocols, enabling them to operate aircraft responsibly and with a level of skill deemed competent by aviation authorities. It's often the first step for those pursuing a career in aviation.
