An individual route
from your existing licence.

The usual PPL conversion requirements.

• A qualifying, valid third-country licence issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1. A UK LAPL is not an ICAO-compliant licence.
• At least 100 hours flight time as a pilot in the relevant aircraft category.
• The appropriate medical and English language proficiency.
• Written examinations in Air Law and Human Performance.
• Meet the relevant class or type-rating requirements and demonstrate readiness for the PPL skill test.
• Pass the required skill test and complete the IAA application and verification process.

Prepare for what is different.

A club assessment identifies differences in procedures, operating rules and flying skills. Any preparation is based on your experience rather than a promised fixed number of hours.
