These additional ratings include instrument ratings and ratings for multi engine piston aircraft. The minimum age to begin this training is also 16 years old.

The night rating course requires a minimum of five hours of flight time. This rating allows pilots to fly under visual flight rules during night hours. Applicants must already hold a valid LAPL or PPL before they start this course.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old. They must also have at least 200 total flight hours, including 150 hours as pilot in command.
