Finistair offers training dedicated to obtaining the Private Pilot Licence (PPL). This course is aimed at aviation enthusiasts who want to fly light aircraft privately, either as a hobby or to launch a career in aviation.
Presentation of the Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) is an internationally recognised certification that authorises its holder to fly single-engine aircraft for non-commercial purposes. Unlike the Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL), the PPL does not limit the number of passengers or the maximum weight of the aircraft, offering greater flexibility.
