Pre-Entry Requirements
Whilst you can begin your pilot training at 14, there are some age restrictions before flying solo or obtaining your licence which you will find below. You do not need any prior qualifications to begin your pilot training either. We will teach you everything you need to know in order to fly and when it comes to the exams, we offer ground school sessions that you can take advantage of to prepare yourself. We will say, however, that at least a basic understanding of mathematics and physics is recommended before beginning the course.
There are no specific pre-entry requirements for this course, however:
- A Class 2 medical certificate must be held before first solo flight
- Students must be at least 16 years of age to fly solo
- Students must be 17 years of age before taking the final skill test
Our Location
Our location at Humberside International Airport is fantastic for flight training because this is a relatively quiet international airport offering full ATC facilities and the challenge of coordinating with larger commercial traffic. The skills you learn here will help prepare you for flight at virtually any location in the world and indeed anywhere in the UK.
Once you have completed your course and qualified as a PPL(H) holder, you will hold a UK CAA licence.
