We can provide training and all associated exams for this rating.
The JAR – PPL(A) is one of the two basic pilots licenses
currently available. Once achieved this licence will allow you
to fly a single engine aircraft in the UK or abroad whilst carrying
passengers.
In the early stages you will need a degree of determination and
patience to master your new found skills and balance this with
the required ground study.
Applicants who wish to obtain their JAR-FCL PPL (Aeroplanes) licence
will need to complete a structured training course consisting
of the following: -
• 45 hours of flight time as a pilot of aeroplanes of which;
• 25 hours must be dual instruction on aeroplanes.
• 10 hours must be supervised solo flight time on aeroplanes
of which;
• 5 hours must be solo cross-country flight time which must
include;
• One cross-country flight of at least 270km (150nm), during
which full stop landings at two separate aerodromes, different
from the aerodrome of departure, shall be made.
However in reality every student takes different amounts of time
to complete the course. The hours set out above are minimums and
you must complete at least that number of hours. The national
average for obtaining a PPL licence is around 55 hours. Therefore
we would suggest that it may be wise to budget for a few extra
hours when working out your finances.
Prior to each flight throughout the course, whether dual or solo,
you will be given a detailed pre-flight brief that will cover
each element of the intended flight. After the flight, there will
be a thorough debrief, where your performance will be discussed
and any queries answered before being given your tasks for your
next lesson.
The early days of training will be spent in local areas around
Shoreham, when you will how learn the basic aircraft handling
skills. This is followed by 'circuit training', when you learn
to take-off and land the aircraft safely, and once completed will
lead you into your first solo flight.
Once the first solo flight is completed we then expand on your
skills by teaching you to fly and navigate at the same time.

There are no real age limits in learning to fly. Providing you
are 14 years old or over, you can log all your flying towards
the PPL course, although you must be at least 16 years old to
be able to fly solo. The minimum age for the issue of a PPL is
17 years. But you can never be too old!
All pilots must undergo an aviation medical (Class 2 for PPLs)
conducted by a CAA authorised medical practitioner (a current
list of names and addresses can be found at www.srg.caa.co.uk
under the section 'personnel licensing'). Providing you meet the
JAR medical requirements, there is no upper age limit at all.
