The Luftsportclub Niederweser e.V. (LSCN) is an established aviation club based at Flugplatz Hüttenbusch near Worpswede, Germany (ICAO: EDXU), operating since 1968. The club focuses on motor gliders and very light aircraft, maintaining a fleet of four well-maintained aircraft including the Super Dimona HK36, Scheibe Falke SF 25 (two units), Katana DV20, and Cessna 172H Reims Aviation. These motor gliders combine the benefits of powered flight and gliding capabilities, preferred for cost-effective pilot training and recreational flying.
Flying costs at LSCN are managed affordably through minute-accurate billing that includes fuel costs. Members pay a monthly contribution with no hidden fees, making flying accessible. The club emphasizes safety and aircraft maintenance, ensuring a reliable fleet.
Members actively contribute through mandatory annual work hours to maintain the airfield and facilities, fostering community engagement. The club offers training programs for PPL-A and LAPL-A licenses, primarily using motor gliders for practical instruction supplemented by comprehensive theoretical education. Theoretical training is provided in presence or remote form, with official examinations.
LSCN welcomes aviation enthusiasts with trial and sightseeing flights, supported by regular club activities and live webcams monitoring airfield events. While the club does not operate its own independent flight school, it provides structured training connected to pilot education.
Contact details include a main phone number and direct contacts for the chairman and training leader. The club is roughly 30 minutes by car from Bremen, providing convenient accessibility for members and visitors.
