The requirements are:A minimum of three sites flown.
A minimum of three different days flown.
A minimum of Ten powered flights flown from LEVEL ground under instructor

count towards the ten launches off level ground).
A minimum of Three forward pullups in less than 5kph wind which result in a
successful launch.
A minimum of Three reverse pullups in more than 15kph which result in a
succesful launch,
At least one planned outlanding at least 10km from the launch, where the
student does the remote field and conditions evaluation from the air before
landing (if not safe, then abort the outlanding). After at least 30 minutes on
the ground, the student again does the evaluation of launching conditions.
At least one cross country flight of at least 30km distance, with the first
turnpoint is not visible from launch, where the student exhibits all aspects of
flight planning, navigation, airspace awareness and avoidence where required,
radio communications, emergency landing options awareness, traffic separation
procedures, fuel management, etc. No Out and return along the same radial
permitted, so a triangle is suggested.
All maneovres that are required for the PG license, must again be demonstrated
on the PPG, such as big-ears, emergency steering, assymetric deflations, rapid
decent options, etc.
A least one 50 meter power-off spot landing, and 3 meter power-on spot landings
must be demonstrated.
There are a few other requirements as well, which your instructor will detail.
