PPL(A)+NIGHT RATING – PRIVAT PILOT AIRPLANE

In accordance with EASA standards: PART-FCL

The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) course with Night Rating entitles the holder to exercise the privileges of a PPL(A) and to fly single-engine aeroplanes by day and by night under Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
The licence is intended for non-commercial operations only. The holder may carry passengers, but may not act as pilot for remuneration or hire.
The Private Pilot Licence is the entry-level licence for applicants who intend to progress to professional pilot training.

Requirements

Career

The objective of the course is to provide the applicant with the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to safely exercise the privileges of a Private Pilot Licence. Training is focused on the safe management of emergency and abnormal situations and on the development of sound decision-making skills in such situations.

By integrating the PPL course with the Night Rating into a single training programme, the graduate gains the advantage of “two in one,” obtaining both the Private Pilot Licence and the Night Rating within one course.

The Private Pilot Licence PPL(A) with Night Rating provides a foundation for those intending to commence a professional pilot career.

GARMIN 1000 Course:

To maintain the highest quality of training and adhere to modern standards, we have integrated the GARMIN 1000 Course (G1000) into the basic PPL(A) training. The GARMIN 1000 is a modern navigation system used in aviation. The operating principles of the GARMIN 1000 are similar to those of avionics systems in commercial aircraft. The GARMIN 1000 can be an invaluable aid during navigation flights or in deteriorating weather conditions. Like any advanced avionics system, it requires a good understanding for safe and, above all, comprehensive use. The course will familiarize you with VFR procedures for the G1000 and the basic principles of system operation, as well as how to address any malfunctions.

Theory Course:

The PPL(A) theory course is in line with the syllabus of the PPL(A) Theory Course for Private Pilots (Airplane) including an additional 3 hours of theoretical instruction for the Night Rating. The course is individualized. According to the student’s requirements, the entire course can be conducted: remotely (online) or in-person, combined with self-study. In-person theory instruction is integrated with flight training.

  • Consultation with Instructor: 25 hours (in-person or online)
  • Self-study using CBT (Computer Based Training) via eLearning provided by our school. Our school’s eLearning platform also includes exam questions to prepare for examinations at the Civil Aviation Authority.

Study materials and textbooks are included in the eLearning platform and are included in the course fee.

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.
