The candidate must be at least 16 years old at the time of issue of his/her student Pilots License with a minimum qualification of 10th standard. The PPL training course is offered to the person who wants to become a Licensed Pilot in preparation for an advanced training programme for business transportation or wants to experience the unlimited freedom and the romance of flying. This course offers flight training right from abinitio level to Private Pilots License. The 3 to 4 months of course, gives you 40 hours of flying time. On Completion of this programme, a person becomes Pilot to fly an aircraft carrying passengers or cargo but not for hire, reward or remuneration. Technically there are no issues related to doing the SPL course with A.M.E. However, A.M.E. Is a full-time three years course, so how can you spare yourself from there can be a question.
