Student Pilot Licence

Initially, all pilots start out as a Student Pilot. Once you have succesfully passed your General Flying Progress Test (GFPT) you are granted the privilege to fly solo within the training area and carry passengers.

The first and most important thing to do is to contact a doctor approved to conduct a medical examination for the issue of a Student Pilot Licence.
