Course Title:   Student Pilot License (SPL)

To Become a Pilot

# You must be at least 16 years of age for a students Pilot Licence (enabling you to go solo) ans a private pilots licence and 18 years of age to qualify for a commercial pilots licence or higher. There is no maximum age limit.

# There is no basic minimum education requirement, but you must be able to read, speak and understand English. An understanding of advanced Mathematics and basic Science would be an advantage.

# You must be medically fit, and must take a Civil Aviation Association (CAA) required medical exam every two (2) years (Annually after 40 years of age) to ensure that you don’t have medical conditions that would interfere with your ability to fly. Contrary to popular belief, pilots can wear glasses or contact lenses to correct vision. And other physical limitations don’t automatically keep you from learning to fly.

STUDENT PILOTS LICENSE (SPL)

A student Pilot Licence (SPL) allows you to start with your training immediately, including flying solo and is the first step in your aviation career.

You can start your flight training without a SPL. However you will need to obtain it before you can undertake your first solo flight.

Before your first solo flight you will also have to complete the pre-solo theory examination as well as an aircraft technical.

During the initial stages of your training you will be taught the basics of flight preparation for your first solo flight. These flights will be performed both in the circuit area and in the general flying area (GF).

The time taken to achieve the first solo flight varies with the students ability, but usually happens after 15 to 25 flying hours.

The first solo flight is one of the most exhilarating moments in your flying career, when your instructor steps out of the aircraft and allows you to take full control of the aircraft, flying a circuit around the aerodrome on your own.

Once you are competent in the circuit you will move onto more advanced flying practices and exercises.
