Aeroclub Saarlouis e.V. is a non-profit flying club based at Saarlouis-Düren airfield (EDRJ), offering comprehensive pilot training for Private Pilot License (PPL) and Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL). The club operates an Aquila A210, a very light aircraft (VLA) known for its efficiency and good handling, making it ideal for club use.
The club emphasizes accessible flying sports with high aircraft availability and minimal operational complexity. Training is practical and safety-focused, provided by qualified instructors. Student pilots can benefit from flexible training options, including substituting ultralight flight hours to reduce costs.
The PPL allows worldwide flying privileges with extensive training, while the LAPL is limited to EU airspace for lighter aircraft. Both licenses are valid lifelong, with class ratings requiring regular renewal or proficiency checks.
Located near Saarlouis and Heusweiler, Aeroclub Saarlouis e.V. fosters a community-driven environment relying on volunteer efforts, offering a solid foundation for recreational and private pilot flying in Germany and the EU.
