Typical cost
A PPL in Europe typically costs €15,000–25,000, with most students budgeting around €20,000. Price depends on aircraft type, how quickly you fly the minimum 45 hours, and local landing fees.
How long it takes
Most students complete the PPL in 6–12 months training part-time at weekends. The EASA minimum is 45 flight hours plus nine theory exams; flying more regularly shortens the elapsed time.
