Private Pilot
License
In Western countries such as the U.S., it is common to own a private pilot license and then rent or buy an aircraft to fly freely in the sky. With the regulations in Taiwan getting more open-minded for commercial airlines and private aircraft, the skycape of Taiwan is getting wider and wider.
Upon the establishment of Apex Flight Academy, we expect more locals to get their private pilot licenses and enjoy the beauty of Taiwan through their own hands and eyes.

I got my private pilot license! What's next?
Congratulations on getting your first aerial license! You must have been an outstanding pilot to have passed the exams!
​
However, a PPL does not allow you to fly in non-optimal weather conditions such as a cloudy day.
When there is low visibility in the sky, you will not be able to rely on landmarks on the ground. You must have an INSTRUMENT RATING add-on to your PPL to fly in such conditions!
