Light Aircraft Pilot License LAPL(H)
The Light Aircraft Pilot License LAPL(H) is the cheapest way to experience the world from a bird’s perspective. With a first trial flight you get to know the helicopter without any obligation. The trial flight will be credited against your education.
The Light Aircraft Pilot License is suitable for those who just want to fly privately with up to three passengers. With this license the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of the helicopter must not exceed 2000 kg. In addition, the LAPL(H) is only valid in the EASA room.
We offer pilot training programmes on different helicopters. Homebase is Grenchen Airfield (LSZG) (Grenchen Airport). You determine the intensity of your training: Fly as your time permits or attend an intensive course.
If you wish to become a professional pilot at a later date, the private pilot license is the cornerstone for the further education to complete the CPL(H).
