Uploaded by McGucket

Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training builds on Recreational Pilot Licence navigation by taking students from point A to point B and extending beyond the 25-nautical-mile range. The course develops navigational planning and execution in CASA-registered aircraft as Pilot in Command, with training hours counting toward the Commercial Pilot Licence. It outlines a structured sequence of navigation exercises (including CTAF, Class airspace, diversions, and solo navigation flights), followed by a PPL flight test, and specifies typical full-time and part-time durations based on student time commitment.
