What do I have to do to get my Private Pilots Licence?
You must have ‘logged’ a minimum of 45 hours flying time for a JAA PPL, or 32 hours for the NPPL, before you complete your qualifying tests, all of which must have been flown under the direction a qualified flying instructor, including a minimum of 10 hours ‘solo’. Before you can fly ‘solo’ you must be sixteen years of age and hold a valid medical certificate (depending on which course you decide to follow, there is a list of CAA Medical Examiners in your area on the CAAweb site, alternatively you can obtain a medical from your local GP, the course you choose dictates the type of medical you require). You must also obtain ground training on all subjects associated with your practical flying.
