Why Earn Your Private Pilot License?
Have you always dreamed of flying? The first step toward legally flying a plane is earning your private pilot license or PPL. While some students choose to obtain this license for recreational purposes, many choose to go on and earn other certifications to start an exciting aviation career.
With your private pilot license, you can transport passengers and even fly internationally within the limits of your license. For those who want to begin a career as a commercial or airline pilot, obtaining your private pilot license is the first step on this journey.
