Private Pilot Licence (PPL)

The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) is the first step to an aviation career (or hobby!). With the PPL, pilots can fly seaplanes and landplanes for fun! A Private Pilot Licence allows pilots to fly single-engine, non-high-performance aircraft with passengers. This is the prerequisite to the Commercial Pilot Licence.  Add ratings to fly at night, above the clouds, or even multi-engine.

Candidates for the Private Pilot’s Licence must be at least fourteen years old to fly solo and seventeen years old on the completion of the licence. This licence requires pilot to have a Category three medical certificate issued by Transport Canada.

Prior to starting, a requirement of a minimum of forty hours of ground school must be complete through an online ground school independently.

Included in PPL training with Airhart Aviation is twenty-five hours of Dual flight instruction, twenty hours of Solo flight, and ten hours of Briefing.

Students may choose to complete their PPL training primarily on Seaplane or Landplane, or a mixture of both.

The prices are based on reaching the Transport Canada minimum requirements for the PPL. The average individual may not complete the PPL in the minimum time.

The scheduling and length of training is based on availability and subject to change.
