The LAPL has been introduced as a recreational/sport licence which can be attained within less flying time than a PPL. It requires a less rigorous medical standard and will allow you to fly a light aircraft, but under restricted conditions. The course consists of a minimum of 30 hours training and then a skills test.

Private Pilot’s Licence
The PPL is intended as a flying licence for the pilot's private recreational use. It consists of a minimum of 45 hours training. 25 hours must be dual, with 10 hours supervised solo including 5 hours of cross-country flight time.

I took a trial lesson but was really nervous. After a great briefing by our instructor Rob, my nerves disappeared. And then we took off - it was amazing! I flew the aircraft!
