The NPPL
The newly introduced Maltese NPPL (National Private Pilot License) for microlight aircraft is required to become a microlight pilot in Malta.
If you want to simply fly as a hobby, without any primary aim to become a professional pilot (such as to fly for an airline), then look no further!
Find out more about the NPPL on Transport Malta’s office website: (No. 004/2024 Malta NPPL).
What is a microlight aircraft?
There are a number of attributes that define an aircraft as a microlight, but the main limitations are:
- Not more than two occupants
- For a two-seater landplane, a maximum take-off mass of not more than 600kg

The Course
We can provide training for ab-initio students, meaning from scratch. No previous experience at all is needed!
The Class Rating can be issued with either of the below options:
- Unrestricted without Operational Limitations
- Restricted with Operational Limitations.
Get in touch with us for a full explanation about the difference.
The only course requirements are
- A decent level of spoken English (further down the line you will be required to achieve an English language proficiency certification.)
- Body weight not in excess of 95kg.
- No serious medical issues (a medical certificate by an authorised aviation medical examiner is needed further along.) We can guide you to an AME (list can be found here) if you have any doubts as to what constitutes a condition that would prevent you from obtaining your license.
Theoretical Subjects
You will need to pass five exams in the following subjects:
- Aircraft Technical
- Air Law
- Meteorology
- Human factors
- Navigation
- Radio Telephony
We have partnered up with QuizAero in the UK for ground school tuition and practice examinations. Visit them now!
Keep in mind that we operate from an international airport within controlled airspace, therefore a very high level of situational awareness and airmanship are an absolute must!
