LAPL — Privileges and conditions
The privileges of the holder of an LAPL(A) are to act without remuneration as PIC in non-commercial operations on aeroplanes.
Privileges and conditions
The privileges of the holder of an LAPL for aeroplanes are to act as PIC on singleengine piston aeroplanes-land or TMG with a maximum certificated take-off mass of 2000 kg or less, carrying a maximum of 3 passengers, such that there are never more than 4 persons on board of the aircraft.
Holders of an LAPL(A) shall only carry passengers once they have completed 10 hours of flight time as PIC on aeroplanes or TMG after the issuance of the licence.
Difference form PPL to LAPL
the major difference for Pilots, will be the reduced training for the license. Instead of 45 hours required training you need as a minimum only 30 hours of training.
There are several parts of the PPL training, like Radio Navigation is not included in the LAPL training. We consider this training as a very minimal training to fly aircrafts up to 2000kg.
From more than 15 years of experience of PPL training we suggest future Pilots to train for the PPL, to get popper skills, because -Flying is Experience!! and 30 hours is in our consideration the very low limit!
