• 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 16ᵗʰ birthday you can easily fly dual flight with your instructor

No prior flying experience is required to start PPL training. The PPL(A) flight training is connected with simultaneous training to obtain the class rating SEP(land). Those two trainings are integrated into the PPL(A) training syllabi. To obtain your Private Pilot Licence, you must complete a minimum of 45 flight hours including:

The flight training syllabi is well structured and consists of the exercises focused on:

Once you successfully complete your flight and theoretical training, you can take the written exams and practical flight test to earn your EASA PPL.
