What is a Private Pilot Licence?
Private Pilot Licence is a licence to fly an aircraft independently for recreational and personal use. It is the first internationally recognised step in professional aviation training and is a foundation for all future aviation courses of study, giving the aspiring pilot the necessary knowledge and flying experience to advance to higher aviation licences.
A PIL is not designed to lead to commercial flying or to earn a living as a pilot, but it does help to develop the skills, confidence and knowledge required for Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) programmes.
Our Pilot licence training programme at AirStar International Academy is a combination of theory and practical flying to prepare our pupils for safe and responsible operation of aircraft.
