Main Courses

Premier Flight Training Flying Courses:

We offer The JAR-FCL Private Pilots Licence and The National PPL.

The JAR Licence requires a MINIMUM Total of 45 Hours Flight Time,
 which must include:
a minimum of 25 Hours Dual Flight Time.
A minimum of 10 Hours Solo Flight Time.

A Class 2 JAR-FCL Medical is required, and this has to be taken with a CAA Approved Doctor.

There is no maximum time period as such, and therefore you can spread the flying lessons to suit your time and pocket. However it is recommended to maintain continuity, that you should try to take a lesson at least every 2 weeks.

The National Private Pilots Licence is a MINIMUM of 32 hours Flight time,
Which must include:
A minimum of 22 hours Dual Flight.
A Minimum of 10 hours Solo Flight.

The National PPL has a similar content to The JAR-FCL PPL, but the use of this Licence is limited to UK Airspace. The criteria for the required Medical Certificate are based on DVLC HGV medical requirements. This can be dealt with by your own GP.

Both PPL Syllabii require completion of various ground subjects, and written examinations in those subjects. Full details and up to date requirements are found on the Civil Aviation Authority Website under “LASORS” Section C.

To add to your JAR-FCL PPL we can offer a Night Qualification, and An Instrument Meteorology Condition Rating.

The Night Qualification is a course based on 5 hours of flight at night. 3 hours of which must be Dual flight, and 5 Solo Take Off and Landings must be logged. There must be at least 1 hour of Night Navigation included in the Dual.

The IMC Rating is a UK National Rating, and although can only be used in UK Airspace, it allows much greater flexibility and a greater margin of safety with regard to cross country flights.
The IMC rating is a Minimum course of 15 hours flying with reference to instrument flying and operational procedures.

Premier Flight Training also is pleased to offer An Aerobatic Certificate on our ROBIN 2160i Aircraft. Depending on individual experience and expectations, this is a custom made course with a minimum of 8 hours Dual Aerobatic Flight. This starts with exploring the Aircrafts envelope at slow, and high speed. A good revision of all aircraft emergency procedures, and learning and practising the basic 5 Aerobatic Manoeuvres, culminating in a mini- aeros sequence. On satisfactory completion PFT will issue a Completion Certificate. More advanced courses are also possible.
