After obtaining a PPL, you can fly for personal and recreational purposes. This includes traveling, flying to visit family or friends, and exploring new locations. However, you cannot fly for commercial purposes, meaning you cannot get paid for flying. It also serves as a foundation for more advanced certifications. For instance, a PPL is the first step towards obtaining a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) or an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), opening doors to a professional career in aviation.
