Private Pilot Licence (PPL-A)

Overview

The private license is the first step into an aviation career, or the path to follow if you want a few more privileges than a recreational license offers. With a private license, you can fly any single engine piston aircraft anywhere in Canada and the US during the day, in good conditions, as well as continue on to the commercial license and all the ratings. The 45 hours of flying needed to get the private license are counted towards the commercial license if students continue their flight training.

You may take Ground School Monday and Wednesday evenings at  19:00. New sessions begin every 12 weeks running all year round. There is also the possibility of doing the ground school privately. Contact us for more information.
