Private Pilot's License Training UK

The PPL may be issued by any country that is compliant with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (“ICAO”); in practice almost any PPL worldwide. In choosing where to complete your PPL, cost is obviously a consideration, and you should also be concerned about the quality of training. The first few flying lessons should teach you the foundations of flying, on which many later skills are based. However, sometimes this training is delivered very poorly.  There is an old adage; you can have it quick, high quality, or cheap.  You may even be able to achieve two of these attributes, but you cannot have all three.  So, if you are offered a PPL course that seems comparatively cheap and will take only a few weeks, beware about the quality!

Another idea to be aware of is that there is a difference in training philosophies between US-based training systems and European based systems. Most Commonwealth counties follow the European model. Therefore it can be challenging for a pilot who has completed their PPL and initial training in the USA to continue their training in Europe, perhaps resulting in greater cost later.
