Private Pilot License - PPL
The
basic or the initial licence is called a PPL - Private Pilots Licence. This
licence entitles the holder to exercise privileges as pilot in command
of an aircraft which he is rated on (this basically means you can fly an aircraft for your personal use by yourself). The minimum age should be 17 years to hold a PPL.
To obtain a Private Pilot License you should have to follow 3 steps:
Firstly:
Class 2 medical fitness, which can be done at a medical centre approved by CAA or DGCA.
Secondly:
You should under go a short ground school program and sit for the CAA / DGCA technical exams (mostly this will be a computer based MCQ type exam - covering 6 subjects).
Thirdly:
You need to complete a minimum of 40 hours of flying. Whereas, 10 hours should be solo flying (Flying the aircraft all alone). And the rest of the 30 hours can be dual. Out of that 10 hours of solo flying (PIC) 5 hours can be general handling and 5 hours should be cross country flying including a long cross country. Cross country flying in the sense it is not flying from one country to another, but flying from one aerodrome to another and the distance between two aerodromes should have minimum amount stipulated by the respective Civil Aviation Authority.
Upon successfully completion of the above ground and flying requirement, you can apply for the PPL to the CAA / DGCA.
Then the Authority will issue a letter nominating an examiner to conduct your flight test or the skill test.
So that you can show your skills and performance to the examiner and approximately the flight time for a PPL skill test last for about 1 to 2 hours.
Upon successfully getting back to the base, the examiner will fill out the application and confirms that you are eligible to hold a PPL.
And that's it!
The Authority will issue the PPL.
