PPL Flight Training Syllabus Exercises

The PPL flight training syllabus is divided up into 18 exercises that must be completed and mastered to the industry standard before you are allowed to test for your PPL (Private Pilots License). 

Some of the exercises will be combined together in a single lesson, others will be spread out over several lessons, while the rest will be built upon over consecutive lessons. Learning about flying, like cleaning a house, is a process. It never really ends! 

Below is a list of the flight briefings you will receive during your ‘ab-initio’ PPL fight training course covering the air exercises you will be flying. Click on the links, and you can watch a training video for that exercise.

Although you will receive a flight briefing before every flight, it can speed up your training if you read up on the exercise beforehand. Do watch the training videos, it will help to reinforce your learning.
