Learning to fly is a personal challenge that offers a chance to do something really different.The process can teach you as much about yourself and your skills as about flying an aircraft. You will develop improved self discipline and self-analysis as you learn to safely operate these machines. You can learn to fly in as little as a few months with weekly sessions. Passing the CPL test and being issued with the licence entitles you to carry passengers for hire or reward, in association with a licensed air service operator. This licence is needed to operate as pilot in command on charter services. You will also be able to fly as pilot in command of single pilot aircraft or as co-pilot in multi-crew aircraft. The instrument rating (IR) allows you to fly in cloud during the day or night. The rating takes a minimum of 40 hours flight training in tracking on navigational aid, instrument approach and landing procedures, departure procedures and emergency procedures.
