Your Private Pilots Licence Flying Course

During the flying course you will need to undertake ground school lessons with your instructor to assist and prepare you for the flying exercises. You are required to sit and pass six written multiple choice ground exams and obtain an RT licence before you take the flying skill test. On completion of the training, you need to pass the flying skill test with our in-house CAA flying examiner. The Civil Aviation Authority will then grant you a Private Pilots Licence.
