    Private Pilot’s Licence

    The Private Pilots Licence (PPL) is a licence of an internationally recognised standard and allows you to add more additional ratings than the Light Aircraft Pilots Licence (LAPL). It requires a minimum of 45 hours training. The PPL is a good place to start if you wish to advance to Commercial or more advanced flying than LAPL allows. You can train for your PPL on the Cessna 172 or the Cub

    Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence

    The Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence (LAPL) requires a minimum of 30 hours training, with less rigorous medical standards than the PPL. It is valid within Europe for aircraft under 2,000kg and a maximum of three passengers. This is the ideal licence for the leisure pilot, but can easily be upgraded to a PPL by undertaking the additional training. You can train for your LAPL on the Cessna 172 or the Piper Super Cub.

    Go Solo

    If you are unsure about tackling a full course to gain a Pilot’s Licence, our ‘Go solo’ course, consisting of 15 hours training in one of our Cessna 172s or the Piper Super Cub. Depending on your frequency of flying and ability it might be enough to get you to your first solo flight. If you wish at that point, you could continue your training towards a Light Aircraft Pilot's Licence or Private Pilot's Licence.
