The competency-based training route towards an IR allows pilots to take a competency-based approach. It will also give you a good initial understanding of flying under IFR and may at a later stage be used to upgrade to a full IR. This is a rating that will give you the opportunity to fly even if the weather is bad.

This rating can be useful for example in cases where en-route the weather conditions give limited visibility or the route might take you above the cloud base. Weather conditions must be good (VFR) both at the departure and the arrival aerodrome. The en-route instrument rating allows you to fly in IMC only during the en-route phase of the flight. You will need to complete 150 hours of theory and at least 50 hours (single-engine aeroplanes or helicopters) or 55 hours (multi-engine aeroplanes or helicopters) of flight training. With an IR you can fly under IMC during take-off, en-route and landing. If you have one of the licences mentioned above, you can extend your privileges by getting a night rating which allows you to fly at night in good weather conditions (VFR) or an instrument rating (IR) which allows to fly in low visibility conditions (instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)).įor the night rating, you need theoretical knowledge instruction and 5 hours of flight training.įor the IR, requirements are different for single-engine and multi-engine aircraft. If you already have an LAPL(A), you get full credit for the theory and benefit from reduced flight instruction requirements (see point (b) and Appendix 1 to Part-FCL). As regards training, for example, to get the PPL(A) you will need around 100 hours of theory and 45 hours of flight instruction. Like LAPL holders, PPL(A) and PPL(H) holders are restricted to non-commercial flights – SPL and BPL holders can add commercial privileges to their licences when complying with additional requirements.

All flights must be done in good weather conditions (otherwise you need an instrument rating, see below). With the private pilot licence for aeroplanes (PPL(A)) and helicopters (PPL(H)) as well as with the sailplane pilot licence (SPL) and the balloon pilot licence (BPL), you can exercise your pilot privileges also outside the EU. For LAPLs for other types of aircraft, please check Subpart B of Annex I ( Part-FCL) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011. You can use this licence as credit towards getting the more advanced private pilot licence (PPL).

Also, a Class 2 medical certificate or an LAPL medical certificate in accordance with Annex IV (Part-MED) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 is needed. To get this licence you will need around 100 hours of theory lessons and 30 hours of flight instruction. You can only fly in good weather conditions (visual flight rules (VFR)). For example, the privileges of an LAPL for aeroplanes are limited to single-engine piston aeroplanes up to 2,000kg, carrying up to 4 persons on board (including yourself– the pilot). It is available for aeroplanes, helicopters, sailplanes and balloons and can be used only in Europe on non-commercial flights. The most basic pilot licence is the light aircraft pilot licence (LAPL). There are different licences depending on the aircraft you want to fly. Just like with a car driving licence, you can get your licence in any Member State, irrespective of your citizenship. In every Member State, the respective national aviation authority issues licences, according to the standards set out by the applicable European Regulations.
