The Aeroclub Saarlouis e.V. is a nonprofit flying club based at Saarlouis-Düren airfield (ICAO: EDRJ) in Germany. The club's fleet includes the Aquila A210, a two-seat Very Light Aircraft known for its economy and good handling, making it suitable for club operations with low operating costs.
The Aeroclub offers comprehensive pilot training focused mainly on the Private Pilot License (PPL)(A) and the Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL)(A). The PPL(A) allows worldwide flying with piston single-engine land planes and includes extensive training and endorsements such as night flying and instrument flight. The LAPL(A) is a European license permitting flying aircraft up to 2 tons and four seats within the EU, with fewer flight hours required than PPL(A), making it a cost-effective option.
The club emphasizes safety and in-depth knowledge transfer by experienced instructors, with no mandatory work hours required from members, fostering a voluntary community spirit. It has operated the Aquila for over a decade successfully, serving as a solid and practical training platform for aspiring pilots.
Key details include their location at Saarlouis-Düren (EDRJ), the Aquila A210 aircraft model, and focus on general aviation and sport flying with accessible flight training.
