A Private Pilot License (PPL) is a certification that allows individuals to fly aircraft for personal use. To obtain a PPL, a candidate must complete ground school training, pass a written exam, and log a minimum number of flight hours with an instructor. This license enables pilots to fly solo or with passengers, but they cannot be compensated for their services. The PPL is governed by aviation authorities, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. Pilots must also pass a medical examination to ensure they meet health standards. With a PPL, pilots can enjoy recreational flying and explore new destinations.
