Single Engine Piston Rating

What can I do with my SEP?

The SEP allows the holder of a UK Flight Crew License to act as Pilot in Command of a single engine piston aeroplane under 5,700kgs.

What are the pre-course requirements?

You must hold at minimum a UK PPL (A) with a Class 2 Medical. Most new PPL pilots will already have a valid SEP however if you have not flown for more than two years or have never held SEP (due to completing an integrated ATPL course) then this SEP rating course is for you. If you hold an MPL unfortunately there are a few extra steps. Please contact the operations team for more information.

Piper PA28 — G-CLGA

How much does an SEP cost?

The most affordable aircraft to fly is the Cessna 152. The Cessna 152 only seats two and cruises at around 95 knots. The other option is to fly either the Piper PA28 Warrior or the classic Cessna 172 Skyhawk, which both seat four and cruise around 110 knots.

We can tailor the training to you once you have flown with one of our instructors.
