Private Pilot Course
A Private Pilot Licence (PPL) allows you to fly single engine aircraft with as many passengers as there are seats in the airplane. You must be at least 17 years of age (14 to solo) to obtain a PPL. This Licence allows you to add ratings such as a Night rating, VFR Over the Top, Float and Instrument rating to expand your flying experience.
A minimum 40 hour ground school course is required by Transport Canada.The amount of flight instruction needed before a flight test varies. Although Transport Canada requires a minimum of 45 hours, the national average is higher. You can decide how often you fly. Your instructor will provide you with the best possible training to obtain your PPL in the most efficient manner.
Prior to the issue of a PPL, candidates must write and pass the Transport Canada written examination to a minimum passing mark of 70%. This exam may be booked and written at our office here in Hanover.
