The Light Aircraft Pilot License LAPL(A) is primarily intended for hobby and recreational flying. It allows the pilot to fly a 4-seater single-engine aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 2 tons and carry a maximum of 3 passengers.
The license holder is limited to flying only the type of aircraft for which they obtained authorization during training or, if applicable, underwent retraining at a flight school for a different type of aircraft. With this license, commercial flying (flying for remuneration) is not permitted.
Applicants for the LAPL(A) license with prior experience as Pilot in Command (PIC) may be credited with up to 15 hours from the total required hours in the LAPL(A) training.
The LAPL airplane pilot license is primarily intended for hobby and recreational flying. The license can be upgraded to the Private Pilot License PPL(A), which is the foundational license for a career as a professional pilot.

The price you will have to pay to learn to fly and obtain a pilot’s license varies from person to person and depends on many factors. The price should not be the main factor in deciding where to get your pilot’s license. When it comes to flight training, cheap is rarely good.
Basic factors affecting the cost of training:
Your goals in flying have a significant impact on how your overall flight training will be conducted. If you want to fly only recreationally, training in an aircraft with lighter avionics will be significantly cheaper than compared to a businessman or future professional pilot.
The price of pilot training for individual pilot licenses is set in connection with the number of flight hours in the curriculum, the time of ground preparations, and theoretical instruction in the classroom. Further, it is necessary to count additional expenses for landing and other airport fees and fees for exams at authorities and payments for obtaining necessary permits for training.
