The Private Pilot License (PPL) Program is designed for individuals who wish to begin their aviation journey and gain the skills to operate an aircraft for personal or recreational purposes. The program combines comprehensive ground school instruction with hands-on flight training, ensuring students develop the knowledge, confidence, and proficiency required to meet the licensing standards of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of Indonesia.
