Career

The night qualification is an essential qualification for a professional pilot. This qualification needs to be obtained before commencing training of the Commercial Pilot License CPL(A) course or before starting training to obtain the qualification IR(A) if the pilot wants to acquire instrument rating at night as well. The night qualification (night endorsement) authorizes you to fly after sunset, under good visibility conditions, and to land at an airport equipped with an lighted runway. You can obtain the night qualification immediately after completing training for Private Pilot License PPL(A).

Price

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 aviation
  • Type of aircraft for training with regard to goals
  • How much time can I devote to 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.
