Manoeuvring an airplane allows you to experience the feeling that is similar to the one that birds may experience while flying. One of the easiest steps to get to experience this feeling is the Private Pilot License (PPL(A)) training course. You can officially call yourself a pilot in just 6-12 months of training. Throughout the PPL studies candidates gain all the knowledge and practical skills necessary to operate safely and efficiently a single-engine and single-pilot aircraft under the Visual Flight Rules (VFR).

I am sure it is worth to spend time in aviation as it allows you to be more content with your life and constantly get to see new places,’ commented Andrea Rodolfo from Italy, a PPL student at Baltic Aviation Academy.
