Luftsportverein Paderborner Land e.V. is a well-established aviation club and flight school located at Paderborn/Lippstadt Airport (EDLP), Germany.

Besides pilot training, the club offers scenic and trial flights to aviation enthusiasts and maintains a clubhouse with a dedicated "Propellerstube" gastronomy area fostering a friendly community atmosphere. Founded in 1960 and renamed in 2025 to represent its regional identity, it serves both beginners and experienced pilots in the Paderborn region.
