This is the beauty of modular training, the time you complete it in is completely at your discretion however; it is important to note that each part of the license has a clock on it, so for example after you complete your first PPL exam you have 18 months to complete the other 8!

You need to be at least 16 to begin stage 1 of our managed modular approach – the private pilots licence. But there’s no upper age limit to train with us as long as you can hold an unrestricted IAA Class 1 Medical.

No not at all, although during the course you will come across various formulas which you will be expected to know and some basic maths. This is a common fear with aspiring pilots, you do not need to be a mathematician or the top of your class to be a pilot. You just need to be willing to learn and put in the work.

You can fly anywhere in Europe and the UK on your own or with up to 6 passengers in a single engine aircraft when you hold a valid PPL.

There are 9 PPL theory examinations involved. You can study for these remotely through our groundschool and the exams will be completed in the IAA in Dublin City Centre.

If you fail an exam it is not the end of the world, you can sit it again several times but there is a limit as to how many sittings you will be able to do and your instructor will take you through all this.

If only it were that easy! You must complete stage 1 (PPL) and stage 2 (hour building and ATPL exams) before advancing to commercial training. See https://pilotpathtraining.com/3-stages-of-modular-training/ for more info.

We incorporate the LAPL as it gives you more experience and gives you a good insight as to what the PPL skills test will  bring 15 hours later. You will greatly benefit from this as when you sit your PPL skills test you will be familiar with the testing environment.

LAPL & PPL training takes place in Newcastle Aerodrome, County Wicklow. About 30 minutes outside of Dublin City Centre.

There are public buses that stop around 5 minutes away from the Aerodrome or you can take the dart to Greystones and our shuttle bus can pick you up from there.

The Aerodrome is open 7 days a week with winter flights starting from 8am with last flights at 4pm. 7am starts during summer months and last flights at 8pm.

Skills test fees must be paid directly to the IAA.

Bring yourself and you’re A-game as although it Is fun to fly you are investing greatly in yourself, so you want to make each lesson worthwhile. All you will need for your first few hours is your logbook (provided by pilot path) and the rest of the equipment you can get in the airfield (unless you wish to buy your own headset). As you progress through the training your instructor will advise you what to buy and when.

Without a doubt yes! We specialise in guiding part-time students who need to continue in fulltime employment etc towards their LAPL & PPL.

Ahh, your first solo- a day you will remember for the rest of your life. This decision will lie with your instructor. He/she will decide when you are ready to defy gravity alone. This comes after you complete some critical inflight procedures e.g. simulated emergency landings, stall recovery, instrument failure etc. To ensure that in the unlikely event any of these happen while you are alone you will be ready. Again we cannot emphasise this enough -this completely depends on your progress and when your instructor feels you are ready to do so. This is not something that can be rushed.
