Private Pilot License

Your First Major Step Into Aviation

Whether you're aiming for a career in aviation or want to fly recreationally, the Private Pilot License (PPL) is your gateway to the skies. As your first full license, it gives you the freedom to fly single-engine aircraft day, carry passengers, and explore Canada and beyond under Visual Flight Rules (VFR).

​

Why Get a Private Pilot License?
Fly for Fun or Adventure:

Enjoy the freedom of flying family and friends, exploring new destinations, or just experiencing the joy of flight.

​

Foundation for a Career in Aviation:
The PPL is a required first step toward becoming a commercial pilot, airline pilot, or flight instructor.

​

Travel at Your Own Pace:
With a PPL, you can plan your own trips and fly on your schedule — whether it's a short scenic flight or a cross-country journey.

​

Earn Additional Ratings:
Your PPL opens the door to advanced training like the Night Rating, VFR Over-the-Top, Instrument Rating, and more.

​

Completely flexible scheduling means you can complete this license in as little as three months, or take as long as you need to work around your busy schedule.
