FLYING AS A HOBBY!
Many of us have dreamt of flying at some point or the other in our lifetime. Life might have taken us on a different path but it is not too late to learn flying and be a Hobby-Pilot.
A myth revolves around taking up flying as a hobby – “It’s too expensive”. We are here to bust this falsehood – It is not expensive.
The total expenditure towards getting a private pilot license can be under Rupees ten lac and you don’t have to make the expenditure in one go. The expense can be spread over five years. If you can dedicate 8-10 hours over the weekend for the theory classes and take out a couple of months to be physically available for flying training, your Private Pilot License can be a not-so-distant reality.
The private pilot’s license is the aviation equivalent of a driver’s license. It enables the license holder to fly an aircraft privately and with non-commercial passengers.
This license is essentially suited for aviation enthusiasts, hobby flying, and adventure flying to name a few. The Private Pilots license is simply an introduction to aviation and the pleasures of flying. Thus, making it the perfect stepping stone for budding students as well as working professionals to venture into the wonderful world of aviation.
Modular courses carefully designed by HATS suit the busy schedule of working professionals as well as students, to help throttle their flying dream.
