PPL ONLY
An EASA Private Pilot License (PPL) is a license that allows you to fly on single-engine land (SEL) aircraft in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) in non-commercial operations. In simple terms, with a PPL you can fly for leisure, but can't get paid. PPL training is the first step towards becoming a professional pilot. Many pilots struggling for funds usually opt to do the 'PPL Only' course so they can at least start their journey, even if they can't financially finish it just yet. Once you complete your PPL (A) training, you will get your Private Pilot License and SEL (Single Engine Land) qualification and you will be able to fly by yourself without an instructor. You can then start flying recreationally or continue on to get your Commercial/ATPL license later.
