General

With the Private Pilot Licence PPL(A) in combination with Class single-engine piston-powered aircraft SEP(Land), you are allowed to fly SEP(Land) aircraft with no restriction on maximum take-off weight and number of seats. If you are considering more than purely flying for fun, the PPL(A) is the recommended entry into the world of flying. It offers you more extension options than the Light Aircraft Pilot License LAPL(A). The PPL(A) is not only the first step for further commercial pilot licences, but also the basis for private flying in more demanding weather conditions, since you can add an instrument rating extension to you PPL(A).

Unlike the LAPL(A), which can only be upgraded with ratings for visual night flying, aerobatics and glider and banner towing, it is possible to upgrade the PPL(A) additional with ratings for instrument flying and flying multi-engine aircraft. The PPL(A) is the starting point for the Commercial Pilot License CPL(A). The PPL(A) is also valid outside EASA affiliated countries*, which is not the case with the LAPL(A).
