Light Aircraft Pilot Licence

 You can commence your Light Aircraft Pilot Licence training practically anytime. There are no specific pre-requisites to start your training with us. However there are some specific requirements for issuing the LAPL licence:

• latest before your first solo flight you will have to obtain Medical certificate. You need to hold at least so-called Class 2 medical certificate, which ensures you meet the physical and mental health standards to fly safely. This must be obtained from an EASA-approved medical examiner.
• to fly solo flights you have to be at least 16 years old, however until your 16^thbirthday you can easily fly dual flight with your instructor
• to apply for the LAPL(A) issue you have to be at least 17 years old

 Like other licenses, you'll need to study theoretical knowledge, including subjects like air law, meteorology, navigation, and aircraft systems. While no formal education or prior knowledge is needed to begin, you will be required to study and pass a series of theoretical subjects provided by our flight school covering subjects such as:

• Air law
• Navigation
• Meteorology
• Aircraft general knowledge
• Flight performance and planning
• Human factors
• Communication

 The Light Aircraft Pilot License training course comprises of a combination of dual instruction with our experienced flight instructors and your own actual solo flying. and 30 hours of flight instruction including: 

• 15 hours of flight training;
• 6 hours of supervised solo flight time, including at least 3 hours of solo cross-country flight time with at least 1 cross-country flight of at least 150 km (80 NM), during which 1 full stop landing at an aerodrome different from the aerodrome of departure shall be made.

 The LAPL(A) flight training syllabi is well structured and consists of the exercises focused on:

• Basics: Takeoff, climb, descent, turning, horizontal flight, landing
• Emergencies: Engine failure, engine fire, instrument and system failure
• Advanced: flight at minimum speeds, steep turns, side-slips, spirals
• Navigation flights
• Basic instrument flight

Once you successfully complete your flight and theoretical training, you can take the written exams and skill test flight to earn your EASA LAPL. The LAPL is typically restricted to flying light single-engine aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs) or less.

Benefits of Light Aircraft  Pilot Training:

• Reduced Training Time: With only 30 hours required, it’s an efficient pathway for those looking to experience flying without the extensive time commitment of a PPL.
• Lower Costs: Training for the LAPL is generally more affordable than higher-level licenses, making it a more cost-effective option for recreational flyers.
• Entry-Level Aviation Qualification: The LAPL provides a foundation for those who may wish to pursue further training or more advanced licenses in the future.
