Private Pilot License – EASA PPL (A) is a qualification that allows the holder to fly on single engine piston (SEP) aircraft in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) as pilot-in-command (PIC) or co-pilot on aircraft in noncommercial operations without remuneration.
Ground Training
The Remote PPL (A) Theory is conducted as a fully distant training course. The ground lessons are provided by professional lecturers from our modernly equipped studio. The classes are performed according to a pre-set schedule, giving you the possibility to study on a daily basis even when you are away from school! The course covers all 9 subjects of the PPL syllabus.

The theoretical examinations can be conducted right on our base, as Flying Academy is an approved testing center under the Authority of Austro Control.
