	The RPP allows you to act as the Pilot-In-Command of a single engine, land aeroplane designed with up to 4 seats. Seaplane and Multi-Engine ratings may be added to this permit allowing you to fly a wider range of aircraft.

	There are a few limitations that apply to the RPP: You may only carry one passenger regardless of the number of seats, you may only fly in Canada, and you may not add additional ratings such as Night or Instrument ratings to this permit.

	Due to the varying amounts of individual training required by different students, it is difficult to provide an accurate cost for our program. Individual learning abilities, course completion times, and even weather has an effect on the final cost. Our Estimated Cost represents an average student and is a good indicator for budgeting purposes.
