"Petits Pilotes" is the name of our charity activity in favour of children or teenagers who are disabled, with a life-threatening disease, or facing social and family difficulties.

The idea is to give children or teenagers who are willing to fly a moment of fun and magic, by becoming a pilot - and even a captain! - during a few hours.

Our first "Petits Pilotes" day took place on Saturday 5 June 2010. 12 children and teenagers from the non-profit making association "Vivre et Grandir", some of them with Down's syndrome, enjoyed their first flight in a single-engine aircraft! It was a great success for all. Many thanks to the pilots Julien Labruyère, Julien Meertens and Gauthier Van Erp for their fantastic contribution, as well as to Alliance Consulting S.A. for making this dream come true.

If you have contacts with partners (hospitals, associations, etc.) which could be interested in the project, or simply if you have an idea to share, do not hesitate to contact us!
