To qualify for a Private pilot License (PPL), candidates must meet certain eligibility criteria. They are usually required to be at least 17 years old, although some countries may have different age requirements. Additionally, candidates must hold a valid medical certificate issued by an authorized aviation medical examiner, demonstrating that they meet the medical fitness standards required for flying.
They must also complete the required flight training, which includes a minimum number of flight hours and solo flying experience, and pass a series of aeronautical knowledge exams covering various aviation subjects.
