Private pilot licence

Training to become a powered aircraft pilot, tailored to you: from your first trial flight to the skill test with the FOCA examiner.

Mountain flying

Flying in the mountains

Mountain flying training from an airfield right in the Alps: valley flying, passes, weather and decisions you can only learn here.

Training and renewal

EASA-compliant training flights and renewal training for the SEP class rating, so you stay safe and current.

Pinch-hitter

Several times a year there are trips and flying days, and student pilots are warmly welcome. Looking over the shoulders of real pilots included.
