Recreational Pilot Permit
The Recreational Pilot Permit is a great way to get into flying. With the RPP, you can get into the air with a passenger sooner than the private pilot license allows. The permit does come with some restrictions:
- The plane you fly can only have one engine and a maximum of four seats.
- You can only take one passenger at a time.
- You can't add extra ratings to let you fly at night for example.
- You can't fly in the United States (or any other country for that matter).
