Private Pilot License (PPL)

A Private Pilot License (PPL) is a certification that allows individuals to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft for non-commercial purposes. To obtain a PPL, a person must complete ground school, flight training, and pass written and practical exams. This license enables pilots to fly for personal enjoyment, travel, or to build flight experience, but not for pay. It requires an understanding of aviation principles, navigation, and safety regulations. The PPL is a foundational step for those interested in pursuing more advanced aviation careers or licenses.
