Want to obtain a private pilot licence for a gyrocopter? The PPL(G) enables the licence holder to fly gyroplanes in the UK, solely for private use. This means you’ll be able to buy your own gyroplane and fly around Europe and the UK and take non-commercial passengers such as friends and family. To obtain your PPL(G), you’ll need at least 40 hours of flight training, of which at least 15 hours is of dual time and at least 10 hours of supervised solo time. Those are the minimum requirements set by the CAA.
In the following sections we’ll provide you with all the legal information that you need to understand to get started, but of course if you have any problems or questions, you can always contact me on lloyd@flygyrocopter.co.uk or drop me a call on the mobile and i’ll be happy to help.
