Self Study & Class
When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth
with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been,
and there you will always long to return."
Leonardo da Vinci 
The Private Pilot license (PPL) qualifies a person to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying passengers and baggage under visual fight rules (VFR) (in good weather conditions).If your interest in flying is limited to fun flying every now and then, the private pilot will meet your needs. However, if your goal is to become a Professional Pilot, you will need to proceed towards First Officer Training.
Pre-entry requirements
You can legally start flight training as young as sixteen, the minimum age for issue of the JAA PPL is seventeen years. Any student applying for the PPL must pass a "Class Two Medical". This medical check is carried out by a JAA-DCA approved doctor to ensure that you are medically fit to fly. Wearing glasses is not usually a problem but it needs to be consulted with an Aviation Medical Examiner
Theoretical knowledge and exams
To successfully complete the theoretical course, you will have to sit and pass seven written examinations, which assess different areas of aeronautical knowledge. These exams are not difficult, but require a reasonable amount of studying.
Self Study
To assist those persons with busy lifestyles or hectic work commitments, European Pilot Academy offers 'self study’ ground theory covering the PPL subjects.
