Flight Training > Courses > National Private Pilots Licence

Before embarking on any course, we always recommend that you commence with a trial lesson. A new licence has recently been introduced by the CAA called the NPPL. The qualification leads to a licence, which grants the holder the ability to fly a 4-seater aircraft within the UK. The aircraft must be single engine piston, fixed gear undercarriage and flown in daytime under visual flight rules (VFR) only.

The course is a total of 32 hours split between 22 hours dual instruction of which 1 hour comprises instrument appreciation and 10 hours solo flight. The student must take a number of written, multi choice, exams and have two flight tests (the general skills test, GST, and the general navigational test, GNT) both of which last about 1 hour and are in addition to the 32 hours.

The main advantage is a significantly reduced medical requirement. It is possible, subject to sufficient hours and appropriate training, to upgrade the licence to a JAA PPL.
