The test will examine your general handling and navigation skills. All tests are in fact multi-choice and require a 75% pass mark. Other requirements are that you pass a medical exam by a CAA-approved doctor and that you pass a practical radio operators exam.

The course is structured under CAA requirements but we tailor the course to the individual needs of the student. Making sure they understand the lessons and build on their experiences and giving you confidence to perform to your best abilities.

There are also seven written exams to be completed in subjects including;

• Aviation Law

The course is available at Dalcross Airport, Inverness.

The PPL allows to you to pilot an aircraft in reasonable to good weather within the limits of VFR (visual flying rules). To allow you to fly in more advanced conditions, the licence can be upgraded to include the ability to fly in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) and at night for example.

This licence is a passport to fly you and your friends in light aircraft around the UK and also you can take it further afield and hire aircraft around the world, maybe an African air safari.
