It’s time to level up your flying. Whether you’re starting from scratch or building on your existing skills, Adelaide Aviation’s Private Pilot Licence (PPL) program offers a clear, structured path to becoming a versatile and independent pilot. With expert instructors and a dynamic learning environment, we provide the tools you need to fly anywhere in Australia — and take passengers along for the ride.
Ready to Take Your Flying to the Next Level?
The Private Pilot Licence is the next major milestone in your aviation journey. It opens up new opportunities, allowing you to fly under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) across Australia — navigating with greater autonomy and taking friends or family with you. Whether you’re an RPL holder looking to level up or a beginner starting from the ground up, our PPL program is tailored to ensure you gain both the knowledge and confidence needed to fly safely and responsibly.
Start from Scratch or Build on Your RPL
No matter where you’re coming from, Adelaide Aviation provides a customised training plan designed around your needs. For beginners, we start with the basics of flight and gradually introduce new skills. For RPL holders, we’ll help you refine your knowledge and bridge any gaps to meet the higher standards of the PPL.
What you’ll focus on:
- Advanced navigation and flight planning
- Cross-country flying and route management
- Aircraft performance and weather assessments
- Handling more complex airspace and procedures
- Preparing for your PPL flight test and written exams
What You Can Do with a PPL
With a Private Pilot Licence, you’re able to:
- Fly anywhere in Australia under VFR (Visual Flight Rules)
- Carry passengers safely (but not for hire or reward)
- Make longer cross-country flights and plan your routes
- Build hours towards your Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) if desired
- Fly in a variety of weather conditions and airspaces
Personalised Training at Your Own Pace
Whether you choose to train part-time or full-time, our flexible scheduling options mean you’re always in control of your pace. Each lesson is designed to build upon the last, with an emphasis on practical, hands-on experience. Our dedicated instructors ensure that you feel prepared and supported every step of the way.
