Learn to Fly with Us
If you're interested in learning to fly then there are two different options open to you;
EASA PPL(A) Part-FCL (European Aviation Safety Agency Private Pilots Licence Aeroplane)
Recognised worldwide and entitling the holder to fly single engine aircraft as Pilot in Command. Additional training can add ratings to fly more complex types, fly at night and on instruments. There is a minimum age of 14 years to start training, 16 years to fly solo and 17 years to be awarded a licence.
A Class 2 medical certificate (from an approved medical examiner and not your GP) is required early on in the training and certainly before flying solo.
Overall you will need to complete a minimum of 45 hours of flight instruction, pass a two-part skills test in the air and nine theoretical examinations on the ground, spread over a period of up to 18 months.

EASA LAPL (European Aviation Safety Agency Light Aircraft Pilots Licence)
Slightly lower training requirements and therefore less initial cost, but restricted to Europe only, good weather and more limited aircraft types than the EASA PPL above.
Overall you will need to complete a minimum of 32 hours of flight instruction, pass a skills test in the air and nine theoretical examinations on the ground, spread over a period of up to 18 months.
With further training the LAPL licence can be converted to Part-FCL.
