You want to become the private plane, commerce aviation pilot or simply to learn to fly? Latvian most updated, certified avian- school “Airtraining” provides You a chance to make Your dream come true! We offer You to cover the learning course for getting the Private Pilot license - PPL(А). What is Private pilot license? Private Pilot license- is a basic, first step on the way to the big aviation and at the same time – all that is necessary for the one who wants to have the ability and the right to fly a single-engine airplane. Private Pilot License (Airplane) allows a pilot to fly a single-engine airplane, weighting not more than 5500 kg., under visual flight rules (VFR) , meaning visibility of at least three miles, as well as at night. A private pilot may carry passengers but may not be paid for doing so (non-commercial activity), although the pilot can share operating expenses with the passengers. Once you have earned a private license, you can work toward other certificates: a commercial certificate allows you to be paid for your flying, a flight instructor certificate enables you to teach others, and an airline transport certificate permits you to fly an airliner. You can also add various ratings that allow you pilot multi-engine airplanes, navigate using instruments in bad weather, and fly different aircraft like seaplanes, gliders, helicopters, and balloons.
