Apply for a Student Pilot Licence

A Student Pilot Licence (SPL) allows you to fly a Singapore-registered aircraft under the supervision or authority of a CAAS-approved flying instructor. It also allows you to carry out flying activities while undergoing flying training to attain higher classes of pilot licences.

To obtain a SPL, you must

• be at least 16 years old; and
• meet the Class 2 medical requirements.

There is no requirement needed for flying experience or completion of the knowledge examinations administered by CAAS for the initial issuance or renewal of a SPL.

More detailed requirements can be found in Singapore Air Safety Publication (SASP) Part 1.
