1.9.5 PPL or LAPL?

Many people ask:

PPL or LAPL?

Here is a small overview of the differences, both in terms of training and

exercising the rights, medical requirements, etc.

What is the difference between being able to get by with 30 hours of training

instead of 45 hours?

One of the most important aspects of LAPL training is that the student learns to

perform takeoff and, most importantly, land the aircraft in different situations.

So, this is not where hours are saved.

There are basic flight maneuvers, such as turns and slow flight; these must also

be mastered for the test.

What has been reduced compared to PPL training includes navigation,

particularly radio navigation, where students learn to rely on instruments

during flight. Simulated instrument flying has also been excluded.
