Recreational Pilot Permit (RPP)

Overview

The recreational license is the quickest way to get into the world aviation. With a minimum of only 25 hours of flying required, students can get their recreational license in under a month.
This license allows you to fly most single engine, piston aircraft anywhere in Canada during the day, in good conditions with a maximum of one passenger on board.

Applicants must be 14 to fly solo for the first time, and 16 to get their license, but can start training at any age. Students must have a valid class 4, 3, or 1 Canadian Aviation medical certificate.

If the holder of a recreational license decides they want to have a few more privileges as a pilot, the private license is the next step.
