Private Pilot License
In as little as 4-6 months of flight training, you can become a private pilot. This will allow you to fly anywhere in Kenya and is the first step of becoming a professional pilot! Being a private pilot has many advantages. You can take a loved one, children, friends, or anyone you want to any location.
This type of license allows you to fly airplanes with only recreational (non commercial) purposes without any other limitations – PPL holder can fly as a PIC (Pilot in command) or co-pilot. Private pilot holder can take on board passengers like friends, business partners with assumptions that passengers are free of charge for flight. Passengers and private pilots can share expenses such as expenses for food, fuel, airplane rental and airport fees.
If you decided to get a private pilot license first step that you have to do is to pass a medical examination through our approved medical examiners.
In Kenya, pilots are trained in accordance with the Kenya Civil Aviation Regulations, which allows them to apply for their Licence in as little as 40 hours. However, most pilots require 50–60 hours of flight time to complete training.
