Private Pilot License (PPL)
A Private Pilot License (PPL) is the first pilot certificate most students pursue. It authorizes you to act as pilot in command of light aircraft under visual flight rules in many jurisdictions, subject to currency and medical requirements. PPL is a foundation for further ratings such as instrument or commercial training.
