1
Private Pilot License
A Private Pilot License is generally seen as a learner’s license in order to obtain a Commercial License. However
the PPL is also seen as a License for people who want to pursue aviation as a hobby. This qualification allows
you to be pilot in command in an aircraft and carry passengers during daytime and in clear weather conditions.
A PPL does not allow you to receive remuneration for your flying activities and is purely for pleasure private use.
Night Rating
This qualification has the same privileges as a PPL with the added ability to fly during night times in reduced
visibility. You will learn to utilize and rely on the instruments in the aircraft without being restricted when planning
and executing a flight.
2
Instrument Rating
This advanced qualification can be added either on a Private Pilot License or Commercial Pilot License, and will
enable you to fly in challenging weather conditions by solely relying on the flight instruments.
Instructor Rating
Graduates that have just completed their CPL will normally choose to do an Instructors Rating in order to gain
experience and increase their marketability as a professional pilot. This rating will allow you to work as a flight
Instructor and build hours simultaneously. The aim of the instructor rating course is to teach the techniques and
methods used to provide competent ground and flight Instruction to ab-initio students training towards their
Private Pilot’s license. This involves undergoing individual skills testing, evaluation and preparation.

Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL)
In order to operate as pilot in command on large commercial multi crew aircraft an Airline Transport Pilot License
(ATPL) must be completed. This is the highest obtainable License in the aviation industry which enables you to
become an Airline Captain.
You may write the ATPL examinations before you have 1500 hours and qualify for a “Frozen ATPL” until you
meet the hour requirements. A Frozen ATPL is a CPL with the ATPL theory subjects passed.
You may fly and train daily 7 days a week should you wish to complete courses faster.
The above courses can be done on a part-time basis, however we recommend not less than 2 lessons per week
since experience has shown that students who fly frequently will finish their courses faster and closer to the
estimated quotation.
Ground School Lectures and take place during weekends for your convenience. These lectures are highly
recommended since they enable students to get the best out of their training and advance at an accelerated rate.
In addition, it is essential to apply the theory taught in these lectures with the practical flight training.
PPL subjects are: Principles of Flight, Meteorology, Aircraft Technical and General, Human Performance and
Limitations, Flight Performance & Planning, Navigation, Air law and Restricted Radio exam.
CPL subjects are: Meteorology, Aircraft Technical and General, Human Performance plus free CRM course,
Flight Planning, Navigation, Air law, Instruments, Radio Aids and Instrument Rating exam.
PPL and CPL Ground School is compulsory for International students.
Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has forecast a need for 466,650 more commercial pilots by the year 2029 – an

boom in the history of the Aviation Industry.
Other options of employment may be charter flying, contract flying, corporate and cargo flying, agricultural flying,
survey flying, film and photography flying and Instructor flying.
