How to become a 
Pilot in Croatia

- EASA PPL(A) Training Path

If you want to become a pilot in Croatia, the usual first step is to obtain a Private Pilot Licence, known as PPL(A).

 

This licence allows you to fly as a private pilot and is also the starting point for many students who later continue toward professional pilot qualifications.

Flight School Croatia supports students through a modular EASA pilot training path that begins with online PPL(A) theoretical knowledge training, continues with official theory examinations and medical certification, and then progresses to practical flight training.

Steps

After completing our theory course, you will have to take and pass official EASA exams in any EASA authority. You have 18 months to pass all of them.

You are not alone in this process. Our instructors will provide support during and after the Course to help you in every way possible.

When you finish your Theory exams, you are ready to proceed to the practical part of your training - the Flight Course.

Before starting your flight training you need to obtain a medical certificate Class 1 or 2. Just search for an AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) near you. 

Your Flight Training Course consists of minimum 45 hours of flight time of which:
 

  • Minimum 25 hours dual time with instructor;

  • Minimum 10 hours solo flight time of which:

  • 5 hours of solo Cross-Country flight time and

  • 1 solo cross-country flight of no less than 150NM route including 2 full stop landings at 2 airports different than departure or destination airports.

You will need to finish your flight training within 24 months from the last Theoretical exam you passed.

Getting your  
PPL Licence

After completing 45h of Flight training, you are ready for your final flight skill test (check ride). 

If successful, you will receive a certificate and now you can get your PPL licence from your aviation authority.

Although you now have your licence, be aware of the level of your skills and experience, take extra caution when planning and executing a flight and fly as often as you can to stay current. 

You can fly more if you reduce your cost of flying by sharing your flights with other people on a flight-sharing platform such as this one.
