With a European registered Aircraft you can fly anywhere in Europe – outside Europe, this license is not valid.

And can not be converted to licences outside of Europe.

LAPL training is individual training

we can organize your training according your requirements. You can do the entire training in one visit, or you can do the training in several visits.

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!

If you like you also can do the theory training (or a part of it) with us in Jerez. Our instructors will help and teach you if you like in 1:1 lessons.

We have the Ground Examiner on our staff in Jerez.

Most people find the exams straightforward, but you have up to 3 attempts to pass each one, and you can repeat them whenever you like during your training. However, we recommend that you finish all the written exams early.

All the written theory exams (9 in total) are taken in our Flight School in Jerez.
