PRIVATE PILOT LICENSE ( PPL ) IN INDIA

PPL ALLOWS ONE TO FLY AS A PILOT WITH PASSENGERS ON BOARD (FAMILY, FRIENDS, COLLEAGUE S ETC). IT CAN BE ATTAIN IN 2-3 MONTHS IF ONE FLIES IN CANADA. AS THE REQUIREMENTS ARE MORE SIMPLER IN CANADA THAN INDIA OR USA. ONE IS REQUIRED TO UNDERGO 50 HOURS OF FLIGHT TRAINING ALONG WITH PRIVATE GROUND SCHOOL BY CERTIFIED SCHOOL AND HAVING AN APPROVAL BY TRANSPORT CANADA. ONE IS REQUIRED TO COVER 30 HOURS OF DUAL FLIGHT TRAINING WITH A CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WITH 20 HOURS SOLO. ONE NEEDS TO ALSO COMPLETE 5 HOURS OF INSTRUMENT FLYING AS A PART OF THE REQUIREMENT WITH 3 HOURS CAN BE ATTAIN ON CERTIFIED SIMULATOR REST IS MANDATORY ON ACTUAL AIRCRAFT . AFTER COMPLETION OF ABOVE COURSE ONE HAS TO UNDER GO WRITTEN EXAM PASSING SCORE IS 60% WITH SUBJECTS COVERED ARE METEOROLOGY, NAVIGATION, AIR LAW AND GENERAL. AFTER SUCCESSFULLY PASSING WRITTEN EXAM ONE NEEDS TO UNDER GO FLIGHT TEST WITH A CERTIFIED FLIGHT EXAMINER PASSING SCORE ON EACH FLIGHT EXERCISE REQUIRED IS 2 MARKS OUT OF 4 IN TOTAL DEDICATED TOWARDS AN EXERCISE.  

I PERSONALLY FEEL EVERY PASSIONATE AVIATOR SHOULD ATTAIN PPL AS ITS VERY MUCH IN RANGE AND EXPENSE COVERED DURING TRAINING IS BETWEEN 8000-10000 CAD. THERE IS COUPLE VERYGOOD FLIGHT SCHOOL IN CANADA WHO CAN HELP YOU ATTAIN LICENSE IN LESS THAN 2-3 MONTHS.
