Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
Starting at $14,000

This is the next stage of training for holders of a private pilot licence, and ultimately the next step in becoming a professional pilot.
Multi Engine - Instrument Rating (Multi-IFR)
Starting at $15,000

Night Rating
Starting at $3,500
An add-on rating which allows the holder of a private pilot licence (at minimum) the ability to fly at night.
Instructor Rating
Starting at $12,000
The instructor rating allows you the opportunity to develop the confidence and skills required to teach others how to fly, while equipping you with the necessary tools for succeeding as a professional pilot.
Recreational Permit (RPP)
Starting at $9,000
This permit is designed for day operations in a non-high performance aircraft, where pilots are able to fly with a solo passenger.
VFR Over The Top (OTT) Rating

This rating allows holders of a private pilot licence to fly above clouds to arrive at a destination with VFR weather.
