As part of improvements to our licence application service, we are reducing the use of paper application forms.
You can still apply for some general aviation pilot licences using our paper-based application route.
Information about what forms to use and what other documents you will need to include with your application can be found on the page for each individual licence:
LAPL applications
PPL, SPL and BPL applications
