PPL(A) Private Pilot
The PPL(A) Private Pilot License EASA Part-FCL entitles you to fly single-engine, piston-powered, two-seat, and four-seat VFR airplanes for non-commercial, i.e., private use.
The Part-FCL PPL license is issued in accordance with ICAO guidelines, is valid worldwide, and may include ratings for different aircraft classes/types.
The PPL affords you a middle ground. On the one hand, it gives you the possibility to go on weekend gateways and on the other hand it fulfills the foundation you need for an aviation career.
