Flight Training: Students can start flight training for a PPL at the age of 14, but to fly solo, typically after 15 hours of training, they must be at least 16 years old and hold at least a Class Two Medical certificate.

Issuance of License: Licenses are only issued to individuals over the age of 17 once they meet all the requirements, including flight hours and passing the practical exam.

For an EASA Private Pilot License (PPL), applicants are required to hold a Class 2 Medical Certificate. The Class 2 Medical Certificate is a standard medical certificate issued by the Cyprus Aeromedical Centre that confirms the applicant's medical fitness to operate as a pilot in the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) jurisdiction.

What to expect at your medical examination for  Initial Class 2 Medical Certificate

The Initial Class 2  medical certificate is   thorough, taking 30min to 1hrs and include some or all of the following:

• Review of your medical history including family history, results of any previous examinations and whether you have ever been classed unfit or had a certificate suspended or revoked
• Physical examination
• Eyesight check
• Conversational hearing test and Audiogram (for Instrument Rating
• Urine test for blood, sugars and protein
• Periodic resting Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Haemoglobin test (every examination), Cholesterol blood tests (at age 40 or if clinically indicated) and Lung function test (if clinically indicated).

The EASA Initial Class 2 Medical Certificate, priced at 120 Euros, is administered by one of the two Authorized Medical Examiners (AMEs). To obtain your initial Class 2 Medical Certificate, you must apply digitally through the contact page link. Subsequently, a representative from the Medical Center will contact you to schedule the assessment.

For pilots holding an EASA license, including a Private Pilot License (PPL), English proficiency is a crucial requirement. The English language proficiency requirements for EASA license holders, as outlined in EASA regulations, are as follows:

1. ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements: EASA aligns its English language proficiency requirements with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. Pilots must demonstrate proficiency in English as the standard language used for aviation communication.

2. Language Proficiency Level: Pilots are required to achieve at least Level 4 proficiency in English according to the six-level ICAO Language Proficiency Scale. This level ensures that pilots can effectively communicate in English in both routine and non-routine situations.

3. Assessment: The assessment of English proficiency is typically done through a language proficiency test administered by an approved language assessment provider. The test evaluates the pilot's ability to understand and communicate in English within an aviation context.

4. Validity: Pilots must maintain their English language proficiency throughout their flying career. The validity period of English language proficiency assessments may vary, but regular assessments are required to ensure continued compliance.

5. Training and Support: Flight training organizations and aviation authorities provide resources and support for pilots to improve their English language skills and meet the required proficiency levels.

Compliance with English proficiency requirements is essential for pilots to effectively communicate with air traffic control, other pilots, and aviation stakeholders during flights. It helps ensure clear and accurate communication in all phases of flight, enhancing safety and efficiency in the aviation environment.

Our e-learning professional aviation training platform offers theoretical training and examination programs that are standardized and in line with current EASA requirements. The platform provides online modules that are cost-effective, can be delivered globally, and allow students to study at their own pace from anywhere.

Once you have completed your module you shall have 2 quize tests to test your ability before proceeding with your mock examination. The mock examination has the same difficulty as your PPL examination allowing you to test your skills and give us an indication of your knowledge before approving you for an examination. 

Once you've successfully completed a mock exam with a score of at least 75%, you are eligible to sit for the external exams. You must pass all nine exams to gain your PPL.

• Air Law – covering the rules and regulations governing aviation
• Aircraft General Knowledge (AGK) – including aircraft design and systems, instrumentation, electrics, engines, and emergency equipment
• Flight Planning & Performance – learn how to do important pre-flight calculations to ensure you have sufficient fuel, runway length, and so on
• Human Performance & Limitations (HPL) – covering the psychological and physiological effects of flight
• Meteorology – learn what causes different weather conditions, how they affect flight, and how to interpret aviation forecasts
• Navigation – basic navigation theory and use of electronic navigation aids
• Operational Procedures (OP) – covers the standard procedures that you must follow when operating aircraft
• Principles of Flight (PoF) – aerodynamics, how aircraft fly, and how different variables affect lift and drag
• Communications – learning how to communicate using radiotelephony

The flight exercises consist of the following:

1. Familiarisation with Pipistrel Explorer and emergency drills
2. Preparation for and actions after flight
3. Air experience
4. Effects of control 
5. Taxing and taxing emergencies 
6. Straight and level flight
7. Climbing
8. Descending
9. Turning
10. Slow flight and stalling
11. Spin avoidance
12. Take-off and climb to downwind position
13. Circuit, approach and landing and circuit emergencies
14. First solo
15. Advanced turning
16. Forced landing without power
17. Precautionary landing
18. Navigation, navigation problems at low levels and in reduced visibility as well as radio navigation
19. Basic instrument flight

Provided the cadet has completed a minimum of 15 hours of flight, holds a valid medical class 2 certificate and is cleared by the instructor he shall conduct 10 hrs Solo to include 5 hrs x-country with 1 trip of 150 nm with two airport stops

The skill test shall be conducted by a flight examiner approved by the DCA for this purpose. Oncethis skill test has been successfully completed the necessary documentation shall be sent to the DCA for issue of the relevant licence, assuming all other requirements set by the authority have been met.
