The JAA-Private Pilot License

Flight Training

BARNSTORMER

The "airport" was a tan stripe in a field of grass;

I remember pilot, that trip when you flew low for me so I could see how the cornfields were laid out -

Do you remember pilot, my friend, how we skimmed the yellow miles on the wings of an afternoon,

You shouting to me in the sun—isn't it peaceful here—isn't it peaceful here?

E. F. Weis

Becoming a Private Pilot!

The Private Pilot license (PPL) qualifies a person to hire act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft carrying passengers and baggage under visual fight rules (VFR - in good weather conditions). If your flying interest is limited to fun flying every now and then, the Private Pilot License is the one that meets your needs. If your goal is to become an Airline Pilot, then you need to proceed to the First Officer Training Program

Flight Training

At EPA, you will be assigned your own Flight Instructor, who will remain with you until you complete the PPL Flight Training. Our Flight Instructors assure the personal attention you need at all time. Your Flight Instructor will be responsible both for Pre-flight briefings and flight training. After each

flight, you will have a DE-briefing in order to review the advancement made during that lesson. Other schools often assign you to a different flight instructor, which is often considered very destructive during your PPL training.
