Personnel Licensing, 13th Edition

Chapter 2

Due to local geographical constraints and boundary, it is not possible to complete one cross-country flight totalling not less than 270km (150NM) in the course of which full- stop landings at two different aerodromes are made. In such cases, a Private Pilot Licence with restriction to fly within Singapore only will be issued.

Singapore issues two types of ratings for flying instructors: Flying Instructor Rating and Assistant Flying Instructor Rating. Both ratings meet the ICAO standards for flying instructors. Newly qualified instructors are issued with an Assistant Flying Instructor Rating, and may qualify for a Flying Instructor Rating after acquiring additional flying and instructional experience.

An Assistant Flying Instructor Rating does not entitle the holder to:

1. give flying instructions unless under the supervision of a person holding a Flying Instructor Rating; or
2. give directions in respect of the student pilot’s first solo day/night flight and first solo cross-country day/night flight.

The applicant for a Commercial Pilot Licence (Gliders) shall not be less than 18 years of age.
