OthersEdit

There are different types of pilot licenses available in Canada, each with its own requirements and privileges.

The most common types of pilot licenses include:

  • Private Pilot License (PPL): This license allows individuals to fly for personal and non-commercial purposes. With a PPL, pilots can operate single-engine aircraft, carry passengers, and fly within Canada.
  • Commercial Pilot License (CPL): The CPL permits individuals to fly for hire or reward. It allows pilots to operate aircraft for commercial purposes, such as aerial photography, charter flights, or flight instruction. Pilots with a CPL can also pursue a career as a professional pilot.
  • Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL): The ATPL is the highest level of pilot license in Canada. It qualifies pilots to act as the pilot-in-command (PIC) of multi-crew, multi-engine aircraft in commercial airline operations. The ATPL has more stringent requirements, including extensive flight experience and additional theoretical knowledge.
