The PPL licence gives the right to fly a single engine piston airplane (SEP) with passengers anywhere in the world, as a hobby. No commercial transport is allowed with a PPL, which means you cannot carry paying passenger nor paid cargo. If you wish to do so, you need to become a professional pilot and follow the ATPL course (Airline Transport Pilot Licence).
All the courses will be given in French, English or Dutch (a minimum of 8 students is required to form a class).
* Our prices are based on the minimum flight time required by EASA for pilot training. However student pilots usually need to fly slightly more in order to be ready for the exam and to develop the flying skills required to fly safe. This increases the effective cost of the pilot training by approximately 10% on average.
