PPL stands for ‘Private Pilot’s Licence’ and is effectively the aviation equivalent of a drivers licence. Your PPL entitles you to pilot an aircraft privately and with non-commercial passengers. A PPL is more akin to a foundation for pilot training which you can then build experience and add additional flying privileges.

A PPL Enables you to act as pilot in command (PIC) on aeroplanes in non-commercial operations. This licence allows you to fly G regestered aircraft in Europe, carry passengers, hire aircraft, and add additional ratings.
