How Long Will It Take ?
This depends on whether you are available to study full-time or casually. For our full-time trainees, the flying component should take approximately two weeks from their RPL, to undertake the PPL flight test. If you wish to study on a casual basis, the amount of time varies based on how often you wish to fly. Courses can be tailored to meet almost any requirements.
