PPL
Ever dream of getting a pilot licence?
The private pilot licence allows a pilot to fly alone or with multiple passengers throughout Canada and the United States.
A Private Pilot Licence holder can earn other endorsements on their licences such as the night rating, instrument rating, and multi-engine rating. You can start this program at any time and become a private pilot in as little as 3 - 5 months depending on student availability and other factors.
The Private Pilot License is also the first step toward obtaining a commercial pilot license and becoming an airline pilot.
