Start pilot training in Bordon with a ppl tutor

Learning to fly is measured in flight hours rather than lessons, and each licence sets its own minimum.

• A Private Pilot Licence demands a minimum of 45 hours in the air, split between dual and solo flying.
• The Light Aircraft Pilot Licence requires around 30 hours but limits you to smaller aircraft and fewer passengers.
• Most students actually need 55 to 70 hours, as weather and gaps between lessons slow things down.
• The theory side matters too, with nine written exams and a radio licence to pass.

With one-to-one theory lessons, you arrive at each flight better prepared and progress faster.

In Bordon, expect to pay about £45/h for a flying lesson.

Several factors influence the price:

• Your level (complete beginner, PPL student or licensed pilot)
• The instructor's experience and qualifications
• Whether aircraft hire, fuel and landing fees are included
• The lesson format (online, at home or at the airfield)

Many tutors offer their first lesson free so you can test their approach.

No, 35 is not too late, as many people start flying lessons in their thirties, forties or later.

• Only a minimum age applies: 16 for a first solo flight and 17 to hold an aeroplane licence.
• Your health counts more than your birthday, so you need a Class 2 or LAPL medical before flying solo.
• An airline career is still possible, since commercial pilots can usually fly until 65.
• Maturity is an asset, as older students tend to study the theory more methodically.

One-to-one lessons help adult learners build confidence before their first solo.
