    Private Pilot
    License

    8 weeks

    FAA Private Pilot License (PPL) is a certificate that allows you to fly an aircraft in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) as a pilot-in-command (PIC) for non-commercial operations and carry passengers. Additionally, you can add ratings to your license, such as the instrument or multi-engine ratings.
    PPL is the first step towards becoming a professional pilot and designed for people without previous flight experience.

    The Private Pilot Certification course is broken into two stages: 

    Stage One will be the start of your flight training where you begin to learn the fundamental skills and techniques necessary to pilot an aircraft.

    Stage Two continues to build upon Stage One, with increased focus on aeronautical knowledge, navigation, night flight and performance take-offs and landings.

It is the most common and logical step to take after gaining some experience while flying with a PPL. Once you complete your Instrument Rating training, you will get IR rating added to your PPL. 

    The Instrument Rating Certification course is broken into two stages:

    Instrument Stage One focuses on aircraft control and basic instrument navigation.

    Instrument Stage Two consolidates knowledge, risk management and aircraft handling skills, including IFR cross country navigation, decision making, holding procedures and instrument approaches.
