Choose your path to becoming a pilot
Two training tracks — both EASA-compliant and recognized throughout Europe
PPL(A) — Private Pilot License (Tourist)
A full airplane pilot license, recognized throughout Europe. It authorizes the holder to fly non-commercial flights without territorial restrictions. A minimum of 45 flight hours is required. Training can be completed in as little as 2 months.
LAPL(A) — Light Aircraft Pilot License
A European license authorizing flights on single-engine aircraft weighing up to 2,000 kg with a maximum of 3 passengers. Fewer flight hours than the PPL(A), lower cost — ideal for getting started.

The Main Differences Between the PPL(A) and the LAPL(A)
PPL(A) It entitles the holder to fly throughout Europe in any single-engine aircraft—with no restrictions on weight or the number of passengers. It is a full license that paves the way for further qualifications and a career in aviation.
LAPL(A) It limits the aircraft's weight to 2,000 kg and the number of passengers to 3. It requires fewer flight hours and is less expensive. If you plan to fly recreationally in light aircraft, the LAPL(A) is sufficient.
Both licenses require applicants to be at least 17 years old and to have a valid aviation medical certificate. We conduct training for both programs using the same PS-28 Cruiser aircraft on the concrete runway in Zator.
