Private
Pilot's Licence (JAR)
The JAR Private Pilot's Licence
(PPL) allows you to fly in visual conditions, in daylight, with passengers
in any single (piston) engined aeroplane (SEP). You may not receive payment
for flying but, in certain circumstances, you can share the costs with
your passengers.
The Joint Aviation Authority
requires a minimum of 45 hours training before they will issue a licence.
It is, however, quite common for students to take more than this minimum
to achieve the required standard. If you want to fly at night, in cloud
or in a turbo-prop, jet or multi-engined plane, you need to train for
the appropriate ratings.
