The PPL – Private Pilot Licence, is no other than a document like the driving license, which entitles its holder to carry out “non-revenue” flights.

Namely, the holder of this document is permitted to fly freely his/her own or a rented airplane, within the borders of Hungary, in compliance with the current regulations, and visual flight rules. (With the possession of a PPL and an English radiotelephony-license international flights can be carried out as well.)

The PPL is the first step that one has to take on the long road to become a professional pilot.

• During the training the student can achieve all the knowledge required to fly an aeroplane.
• The training starts with aero technique skills, then the students will be able to execute self manouvers alone, as well.
• After these comes the navigation knowledge.
