Blue Sky Aviation GmbH is your flight school in Mönchengladbach to obtain the private pilot license in the regions of Rhineland and Southwestern Ruhr area centrally located in Dusseldorf and Cologne. Here we train you to obtain a private pilot license (non-commercial).
In an individual conversation we give you the option of which EASA license is the right one for your needs.
We train at our EDLN site with modern ECHO Class aircraft fleet. These aircraft are equipped with piston engines and have an MTOW (maximum takeoff weight) of less than 2,000 kg. Training is available 365 days of the year (except Christmas, New Years Eve and New Year’s day from 08:00AM to 8:30PM) Mönchengladbach Airport (ICAO identifier: EDLN) has a 1,200 m long asphalt runway in a controlled zone.
Here the LAPL (A) in the focus. Information on PPL (A) can be found in the area PPL (A). On another page we have direct comparisons of the respective permissions.
The LAPL (A) entitles you to fly single-engine piston aircraft in Europe with a maximum take-off weight of 2,000 kg. You are allowed to take 3 passengers with you. Based on the LAPL (A) license, additional authorizations can be acquired.
These are for example:
Also, the later transition - without further theory units and testing - on the PPL (A) is possible.
The passenger authorization may be acquired upon completion of the training. The prerequisite is that the pilot has completed 10 hours of flight time as PIC (Pilot in Command).
The EASA-FCL LAPL (A) is a cheaper alternative to the PPL (A). The time you should spend on a LAPL (A) is between 3 and 9 months. The duration of the training will be individually coordinated with you based on your time. This also includes a vote on the time required for theoretical and practical training, which is parallel and planned so that your knowledge has the same high level.
Requirements for the LAPL (A):
Theoretical education takes place with clear and structured curricula. We offer these as distance learning (web-based training) or close-to-school (frontal teaching and individual coaching) as part of the respective training plan individually or in combination.
The theoretical training and examination covers the following subject areas:
The practical training consists of at least 30 hours of flight, of which at least 15 hours are with an instructor, and at least 6 hours of solo flight under supervision, of which at least 3 hours of solo flight with at least one flight over 150 km with a stopover.
Here you will find a rough course of practical training:
