PPL Training in Lelystad

Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training

Do you dream of flying an aircraft yourself? With the Private Pilot Licence (PPL), you take the first step towards flying independently. During the training programme, you learn to fly a single-engine aircraft safely and responsibly according to European (EASA) regulations. The training is provided by our approved Declared Training Organisation (DTO NL-DTO-012).

The practical training consists of at least 45 flight hours, divided between dual instruction flights and solo flights. Step by step, you build experience from your first introduction to the aircraft and basic manoeuvres through to navigation flights and a solo cross-country flight.

During the training programme, the following topics are covered, among others:

• Basic aircraft control and handling
• Take-offs and landings
• Emergency procedures and safety
• Radio communication
• Navigation and cross-country flights
• Basic instrument flying
• Preparation for the practical exam

In addition to the practical training, you follow a theory course and must hold an EASA Class 2 Medical before your first solo flight. After successfully completing the theory, practical training and exam, you receive the Private Pilot Licence (PPL(A)), which allows you to act as pilot-in-command of a single-engine aircraft for private flights.

Why choose a PPL?

The PPL is the most complete private pilot route for students who want to fly independently and keep future options open. With a PPL(A), you can fly in and beyond Europe, carry passengers and build experience towards additional privileges such as a Night Qualification or further ratings. For many students, the PPL is the logical choice when they want to take flying seriously.

At Aeroclub Maritime you follow that training within an active flying club. You are not only working towards the exam requirements, but also gaining access to club experience, briefing rooms, shared flights and members who already fly regularly. That support is especially useful after your licence, when you continue building independent flying experience.

What does PPL training cost?

The minimum practical requirement for PPL is 45 flight hours, but the total cost depends on your preparation, planning, theory, exams, medical examination and the number of hours you ultimately need. That is why we list the current rates separately on the flight training and aircraft rental costs page. It explains membership, aircraft rental, instruction and participation rates.

If you first want to experience how a flying lesson works, you can start with a trial flying lesson in Lelystad. After that, you can discuss with an instructor whether PPL, LAPL or a starter package best fits your goal.
