DESCRIPTION
A private pilot license (PPL) will allow you to fly an aircraft as the pilot in command. You may fly any aircraft, even jets to any place in the world with passengers on board, but you may not be paid for it. If you want to make a living from your flying, you will need a commercial license.
Your instructor will teach you about the aerodynamics of an aircraft, the mechanical elements of airplanes, meteorology, flight planning, the human body, navigation, and many more things.
South Africa has some of the best aviation standards in the world. The qualifications are recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization - ICAO. This allows you to be able to go to any country registered under ICAO such as the USA, Europe, Australia, and many more.
This license typically takes between 3 to 5 months to obtain.
