A Private Pilot Licence (PPL) issued by CASA entitles the pilot to the unrestricted freedom of flying anywhere within Australia under CASA regulations.

A PPL is typically desired by those who wish to fly recreationally; either hiring an aircraft or owning their own aircraft, flying during daylight hours in good weather. In addition, those who wish to pursue a professional aviation career require a PPL as the first step towards a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) or Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL).

Obtaining a PPL from AAPA is the perfect solution for anyone who has the dream to learn to fly. AAPA will provide a professional, safe and enjoyable environment coupled with state of the art equipment and very high standards of training.
