What does the LAPL(A) license allow for? This is the shortest way to pilot certified single-engine piston aircraft not exceeding the takeoff weight of 2 tons, in which the number of persons on board is not more than 4 people (including the pilot). In order to transport passengers free of charge, you must fly a minimum of 10 hours after obtaining the license as the pilot of the aircraft. Flights can take place all over Europe, but you can go beyond Polish borders after passing the English language exam (ICAO level 4). An aircraft piloted using LAPL(A) must comply with EASA requirements and be registered in the EU.

What is the difference between the LAPL(A) license and the UAP ultralight certificate?
The qualification certificate for ultralight aircraft in many EU countries is not honored at all. The maximum take-off weight in the case of ultralight aircraft can not exceed 495 kg, and the number of seats on the deck can not be greater than 2. The most important limitation is the lack of the possibility of completing a full raid on ultralight airplanes. If the holder of the qualification certificate decides to start training for the PPL aircraft license (A), regardless of the flight taken earlier on ultralight airplanes, the candidate can not be credited more than 10 hours for practical training for PPL(A).
