PPL Flight Practice
We are based at Brussels South Charleroi Airport and in Namur Airfield. In Charleroi, we use the same (long!) runway as the main airlines. In Namur, we have the choice between two short runways, of which a grass one!
Your first steps on the apron
From your very first flight, you will experience the exciting atmosphere of an international airport or the convivial environment of a small aerodrome. From Charleroi, you will fly in a busy environment, adhere to standard international procedures, and share the same radio frequency as the commercial airlines! From Namur, you will enjoy flying in a GA-friendly place.
45 hours of training
The training comprises a minimum of 45 hours flight time, of which at least 25 hours must be done with an instructor, and 10 hours solo! You hold the controls from your very first flight lesson! Here is a glimpse at what you will do during your practical training:
