You will receive detailed ground school instruction and comprehensive pre-flight and post-flight briefings.
Discover how you can become part of an academy committed to excellence in flight training, offering affordable and personalized programs in the Caribbean. We are here to help you navigate the requirements and application process.
A Private Pilot License (PPL) allows you to fly an aircraft for personal and recreational purposes. With this license, you can act as the pilot in command of an aircraft and travel to different destinations while carrying passengers such as friends or family.
Although the PPL does not allow you to be paid for flying, it gives you the freedom to explore aviation, enjoy cross-country flights, and gain valuable experience in the air. Many pilots use the PPL to travel, build flight hours, or simply enjoy the unique experience of flying.
Time and Motivation.
Our Private Pilot License program is more Intense than the most programs because we aim to provide you with sufficient knowledge to seamlessly continue with the Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilot Course.
Language.
All applicants for the private license must be able to read, speak, and understand English, which is the international language standard of aviation.
Medical examination.
We recommend our students to have their medical exam prior to starting their training.
For more information about how to get your medical exam done, please call our office and ask for any of our instructor that will gladly guide you through this process.
Age.
You must be at least 16 years of age in order to fly solo with a student pilot certificate, and 17 years old to get a pilot’s license. There is no upper age limit, provided that you are healthy enough to pass the medical exam.
The duration of the PPL course is completely flexible and can be tailored by our instructors to meet your individual time constraints, budget and entry level. You determine when you fly, brief or attend theory classes. Our classes, for that reason, are all taught one by one.
The length of your training vary from a couple of weeks to up to a year for people that have time and budget constraints.

Aircraft General Knowledge
