Questions & Answers

Is it usefull to get PPL if I want to become a professional pilot?

PPL is always the first degree before going for a commercial or air transport pilot's qualification. If you decide to gain your PPL with us, we will help you plan a cost-effective way to get the higher ratings (CPL, MEP, IR, ATPL). However, within PPL you can also get other ratings, like towing training or earning a multi-engine qualification.

The medical exam for private pilot's license is not rigorous and most of the usual health issues (like wearing eyeglasses or high blood pressure) are not an obstacle. Almost every middle-aged or younger person passes the exam.

Technically, around 12 hours a year. However, we suggest to fly more than that, the above-mentioned demand is bare minimum from the standpoint of maintaining the flight habits and safety.

Is flying safe?

After you compare the number of airplane accidents and road accidents, it's easy to say which is safer. Great majority of air accidents are caused by breaking the flight rules. If you fly according to the rules the probability of having an accident is very small.
