Who Can Become a Pilot?
The answer is YOU CAN. Check the requirement below for more information.
14+
Age
The minimum age to register for a theoretical knowledge course for private pilots with us is 14 years old. There is no upper limit, but perhaps if you are older than 65 years of age you could send us an email to review your goals.
Medical Status
There is no requirement for a medical certificate before commencing the ground school with us. However, candidates for the EASA PPL shall be in good physical condition. You will need an EASA Medical Class 2 Certificate for your flight training later on. It is a great idea to check with an Aero Medical Examiner that you are fit to fly before investing in your pilot training.
English Language
The training with us is conducted in English. The language of aviation is English. For this reason, we require a good understanding of the language from our students. This refers to a minimum level B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. We accept ICAO English Level 4 and above as well.
Education
We require a good understanding of fundamental mathematics and physics principles. Those are middle school level. Some Civil Aviation Authorities in Europe also require a diploma for secondary education. Do not worry about the maths and physics parts as our foundations' course, part of the Private Pilot Pathway program will refresh your knowledge.
The Road to Your Private Pilot Licence
Five steps. One goal. Your PPL(A).
We not only provide Distance Learning PPL Theory training but also offer:Â
ICAO English Language Proficiency Tests
