PPL Practical Flight Training Syllabus Exercises ✈︎ EASA


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

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 to fly, 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 practical fight training course covering the air exercises you will be flying. 

Click on the links, and watching the training videos 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, they have been carefully selected from reputable training providers and they should help to reinforce your learning.
