What is a Private Pilot?
A Private Pilot License (PPL) is a certification allowing you to fly aircraft for personal, non-commercial purposes, acting as Pilot in Command (PIC) for recreation, but not getting paid to fly passengers or cargo.
It's the first step for most pilots, requiring age (17+), English proficiency, a medical certificate, and passing written/practical exams after flight training. The national average is 60-75 hours of training to get your PPL.
