PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE (PPL)

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS AND FLY ANYWHERE IN AUSTRALIA

 #TheSkyIsCalling
FIND YOUR WAY, AND FLY
FURTHER WITH A
PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE
Having obtained your Recrea�onal Pilot Licence
(RPL), the next stage in your flight training process is
learning how to navigate from point A to point B. This
will allow you to expand your horizons beyond the
25 nau�cal mile range that your RPL allows.

During the Private Pilot Licence (PPL) course, you will

further improve on the fundamental flying skill-set you
developed during RPL training. In addi�on, with your new
naviga�on skills, you will plan and execute a number of
longer naviga�onal flights that will also include landing
and refueling at other airports.
WHAT DOES HAVING A PRIVATE
PILOT LICENCE (PPL) ALLOW
YOU TO DO?
The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) allows you to plan and
conduct naviga�onal flights throughout Australia as
Pilot in Command, in any CASA registered aircra�,
carrying up to a maximum of 5 passengers.

The confidence and skill-set to fly further and longer

is a crucial step in any pilot’s avia�on journey. The
PPL is a great licence for recrea�onal pilots, who
can then add Ra�ngs and Endorsements to
expand both the aircra� they can fly and the
condi�ons they can fly in.

Pilots looking to fly professionally progress to

Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) training

“The PPL course has introduced me to navigating an aircraft, which is a fundamental part of my future
career aspirations. What I love most about Learn To Fly is the modern facilities and the availability of
