PILOT TRAINING
Private Pilot License
(PPL)
A Private Pilot License is the gateway to piloting for pleasure or the first step toward a commercial career. With a PPL you may act as pilot-in-command during daylight and good weather, carrying passengers for personal (non-paid) flights.
Commercial Pilot License (CPL)
A CPL is necessary if you want to fly professionally and be paid for your flying. It qualifies you to act as pilot-in-command on single‑pilot aircraft or serve as co‑pilot on multi‑crew aircraft following type-specific training.
Instrument Rating
(IR)
The Instrument Rating allows you to fly safely when visibility is poor by relying on cockpit instruments rather than external visual references. It can be added to either a PPL or a CPL.
Night Rating
A Night Rating authorises pilots to operate at night and is often required for professional progression. The training includes both instrument and night‑flying components.
Multi‑Engine Rating
(MER)
The Multi‑Engine Rating enables you to fly aircraft with more than one engine — an important step for pilots aiming
at airline or charter roles.
Instructor Rating
(Grade III)
Becoming a flight instructor grows your experience quickly and opens up many job opportunities. Instructor time is a valuable stepping stone to roles such as airline training captain.
