How do I convert my foreign Private Pilot License (PPL) to a Singapore PPL?

You will need to submit the application form and supporting documents online in CAPELS.

In order to convert your foreign PPL, you must meet the following requirements:

• Hold a valid foreign PPL issued by an ICAO Contracting State. The PPL must remain valid throughout the conversion process.

• Be certified to at least an "Operational Level" (Level 4) on the ICAO Language Proficiency Rating Scale.

• Pass the following examinations and tests:
  

  • Class 2 Medical Assessment or Class 1 Medical Assessment if a PPL with Instrument Rating (IR) is sought;

  • PPL Air Law and Operational Procedures examination;

  • PPL Human Performance examination; and

  • PPL flight test

All of the above requirements have to be completed within a 6-month period.
The detailed requirements can be found in the Singapore Air Safety Publication Part 1.
