Loutzavia Training Courses 

“The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values.” W.R Inge

(Private Pilot Licence (PPL)

The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) is the take-off to your career in Aviation, or the gateway to recreational flying. A PPL allows you to do private flights, and to train further for a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) in order to work commercially as a pilot. Training can be done on a full-time or part-time basis. The PPL course is a very important first step in your life as a pilot. However, it is important to first complete an INTRODUCTORY TRAINING FLIGHT with an Instructor to serve as a deciding factor for your career.
