PRIVATE PILOT
What is a Private Pilot License?
With a Private Pilot License (PPL), you can fly an airplane during the day and night in visual flight conditions.
In fact, you can even carry passengers, such as friends, family, and co-workers.
You cannot fly for paid compensation or hire. However, you can share the operating expenses with your passengers.
The PPL is your foundation course on a pathway to an exciting Career in Aviation!
