For those of you who wish to have the facility to hire or use your own light aircraft, the PPL course offers you the training and experience you need. For those of you wishing to go further and pursue a commercial aviation career and wish to follow the modular route, the PPL is the first step.

The PPL course at Aeros requires a minimum of forty-five hours flying time; including ten hours solo ending with a skills test with an examiner. The test will examine your general handling and navigation skills. There are also seven written exams to be completed in subjects including Aviation Law, Navigation, Meteorology, Human Performance Limitations Aircraft Technical, Flight Planning and Performance and the R/T written test. All tests are in fact multi-choice and require a 75% pass mark. Other requirements are that you pass a medical exam by a CAA-approved doctor and that you pass a practical radio operators exam.

The PPL is currently priced at £6295. This includes forty-five hours in a Piper Warrior (PA28), briefings, all written tests and landings at the home base (not away landings). The course is available from both our Gloucestershire and Bristol Filton bases.

The PPL allows to you to pilot an aircraft in reasonable to good weather within the limits of VFR (visual flying rules). To allow you to fly in more advanced conditions, the licence can be upgraded to include the ability to fly in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) and at night for example.

All prices are inclusive of VAT at 17.5%. Charge time is calculated as airborne time plus 10 minutes. Landing Fees are additional at current rates (except for Trial Lessons). Inclusive Courses include landings. Away landings and approaches will be charged extra at cost. Prices correct at creation time but may vary slightly with inflation and fuel rates. All subject to Aeros terms and conditions E&OE.
