PPL(A) Foundation Course (EASA & UKCAA)
Course Overview
Have you ever thought of gaining a pilot license in your life planning? We believe learning to fly is a memorable experience and rewarding, the Private Pilot License (PPL) Foundation Course could be your first step in pursuing your dream. Through this course students will learn the required theoretical knowledge set by the Authority and the flying skills that they expected to acquire from the flight training.
Course Descriptions (EASA & UKCAA)
This course is designed based on the requirement laid down by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and UK Civil Aviation Authority (UKCAA). It is also feature computer based training (CBT) from Bristol Groundschool (BGS) for the theory part that students could have theory study at their own pace. Flight simulation training will be provided in parallel with the theory teaching. This course is divided into three stages, all students need to complete a revision lesson at the end of each stage before proceed to the next stage.
