The Private Pilot Certificate is the first step for most aspiring pilots. This certificate allows you to fly as the pilot in command of an aircraft for personal and recreational purposes. It's perfect for those who want to explore the skies, travel, or even own a personal aircraft. With a Private Pilot Certificate, you can fly under visual flight rules (VFR) and carry passengers, but not for compensation or hire. You'll learn the fundamentals of aviation, including navigation, weather, and emergency procedures, all while gaining valuable flight experience.
