Training Objective
The Private Pilot License PPL(A) is the first and most important step toward starting your aviation journey. This internationally recognized license allows you to fly single-engine aeroplanes with a maximum take-off weight of up to 5,700 kg for non-commercial purposes.
With a PPL(A), you can operate aircraft for personal travel, leisure flying, and time-building, while developing the fundamental skills required for advanced professional pilot training. The course provides comprehensive theoretical knowledge and practical flight instruction in accordance with international aviation standards.
At AIAA – Albanian International Air Academy, our PPL(A) training program builds a strong foundation in flight safety, aircraft handling, navigation, meteorology, and air law — preparing you for the next steps toward CPL and ATPL certification.

Upon successful completion of the training, the graduate will receive a private pilot license PPL(A) along with a class rating for single-engine piston aircraft SEP(L), which entitles the holder to act as pilot-in-command (PIC) without compensation, exclusively for private purposes.
