Course Title:   Private Pilot Licence

The minimum time required by law is 40 hrs before you can write the exam.
The student will be required to pass exams on 5 subjects during the course of his training. These are Navigation, Radio, Engines and Airframes, Meterology and Air law.
At the end of his or her training, The student will be required to complete a flight test, which will include a cross county flight as well as the theoretical test.

Once all the above requirements have been satisfactorily completed, the student will be awarded a PPL license. This will allow him to fly the aircraft they are rated on by day and in VMC (good weather) conditions. He or she may not fly for reward, although they may carry friends as passengers if they wish. The license is valid only on aircraft registered in South Africa (ZS or ZU registered aircraft). The pilot may only fly types of aircraft on which he or she is rated and has flown before.

This last means that if a pilot has trained on a Piper Tomahawk, he or she will need a conversion before he may fly, for example, a Cessna 152. At CTFC, we are happy to perform conversions for PPL holders to any of our aircraft, or to any other aircraft on which one of our instructors are rated. The time taken for a conversion depends on the degree of difficulty involved. It comprises a theoretical examination confirming that the student is familiar with the technical aspects of the new aircraft, and then between one and ten hours of flying with an instructor in order to first obtain, and then demonstrate, competence.
