Learn to fly with us

At our flight club and training centre, experienced instructors offer personalised, hands-on training for all levels. Learn to fly, meet other aviation enthusiasts and start your journey to becoming a private pilot — theory and flying go together from day one.

Two milestones

How to become a private pilot

1 · Theory

100 hours of ground school

October to April – Mondays and Thursdays
7:00 to 9:30 pm, at our clubhouse at Luxembourg Airport
9 subjects – air law, principles of flight, flight performance & planning, operational procedures, human performance, communications, meteorology, navigation, aircraft general knowledge
Multiple-choice exam at the end of the course

Theory and flying go hand in hand: you can start your flight lessons before the theory is finished.

2 · Practice

At least 45 flying hours

30 hours with an instructor
10 hours of solo flight
5 hours of cross-country flight
On our Piper PA-28 fleet – or the Diamond DA40

After the theory and practical exams you receive your PPL(A) with a Single Engine Piston (SEP) rating, to fly by day under visual flight rules (VFR) – and the door to night, instrument and other ratings.

What is the minimum age to start my PPL?

You can start your theoretical classes at 15. The first solo flight can be done at 16, and you need to be at least 17 on the day of the practical exam to receive your PPL.

What do I need to start the private pilot licence course?

You need to become a member of AVIASPORT II and hold a valid Class 2 aviation medical certificate. No previous flying experience is necessary – we welcome all aviation enthusiasts.

Can I start my flight lessons before the theoretical classes?

Yes, and we even recommend it. As soon as you are a member and have all the relevant documents, you can start your flight lessons at any time – it helps you understand some of the more complex topics taught in class. The only rule: you must pass your theoretical exam before your practical exam.

When and where do the theoretical classes take place?

Theoretical classes normally run from October to April, on Mondays and Thursdays from 7:00 to 9:30 pm, at our club at Luxembourg Airport.

What if I cannot attend a theoretical class?

Don’t worry – we understand you have other commitments. According to the rules, you must attend at least 80% of the classes.

Which language is used for the classes?

Theoretical classes and practical training are held in English.

I am not sure if the PPL is right for me – what should I do?

Book an introduction flight (currently fully booked – back in spring 2027) with one of our instructors: you sit in the pilot’s seat, control the airplane yourself under the instructor’s watchful eye, and see what it takes to become a private pilot.

If I only do the theoretical course, how long is it valid?

The PPL theory certificate is valid for 2 years from the (first) date of complete or partial pass of the theoretical exams. You need to complete the practical training within those 2 years – otherwise you resit the authority’s exams (no need to redo the whole course).

I wear glasses – can I still obtain a PPL?

Yes. Glasses do not prevent you from flying; you simply need to carry a spare pair.

How long does it take to obtain a private pilot licence?

It depends on your dedication and the frequency of your lessons – typically between 10 and 18 months. Remember, the journey is as important as the destination!

What are the benefits of a private pilot licence?

You can fly single-engine airplanes for pleasure and personal travel, and take family and friends with you, worldwide. Later you can add a night rating, multi-engine or instrument rating – or use the PPL as the first step towards a professional ATPL career. Note that AVIASPORT II does not offer all of these ratings; get in touch for details.

Can I use the club’s planes as soon as I have my PPL?

Of course! Our aircraft are used by students and licensed members alike – for a couple of hours, a full day, a weekend or even a longer trip, depending on availability. Members see a full booking calendar and can book up to 3 months in advance.

Do I need previous flying experience?

No. Our instructors are used to working with beginners and will guide you every step of the way.

How much does a private pilot licence cost?

It depends mainly on the number of flight hours needed. Most people spend around 13,000 to 15,000 €. See the cost overview above.

Do I need to pay everything in one go?

No. After paying the admission and annual fees you get a personal club account, which must always show a positive balance. You decide how much to transfer, and you only pay for the hours you actually fly.

What type of aircraft will I train on?

Students normally train on our Piper PA-28: LX-AVA, LX-AVO and D-ELLN. You can also choose our Diamond DA40, LX-AVD. Discover the fleet →

Can I choose my instructor?

Yes, depending on availability and language requirements.

Is there an info day?
