Even if you just started to dream about becoming an airline pilot, you will learn very quickly that it requires patience and strength. To reach your dream you should know what does it take to become a pilot and below we represent you the pilot-licenses you have to acquire.
Private Pilot License is a qualification that permits to act without remuneration as PIC or co-pilot on aeroplanes in non-commercial operations.The licence requirements are determined by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), but implementation varies widely from country to country.
The Night Rating allows you to be able to fly aircraft during the time of ‘night’ as qualified by ICAO, being the time from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise.
The Instrument Rating allows the pilot to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), which is required for flights such as through cloud cover. It is the next step for a lot of pilots who wish to further a career in aviation. It is usually done in conjunction with the Commercial Pilot’s License.
The Commercial Pilot’s License is required to get paid for the time that one is flying. Applicants for a CPL (aeroplanes) must also have completed a solo cross-country flight of at least 300 nm with full-stop landings at two airfields other than the pilot's airfield of origin.
The Multi Engine Rating allows one to fly an aircraft with more than one piston engine. It is usually done in conjunction with the Commercial Pilot’s License.However, we do also offer it as a standalone course.
