Motorfluggruppe Thun

Motorfluggruppe Thun is a Swiss aviation group founded in 1966 and based at Thun Airfield, located west of Lake Thun and surrounded by the prominent peaks of the Bernese Oberland. The group operates a motor flight school offering pilot training up to the Private Pilot License (PPL) level. Training includes new aircraft type ratings and check flights for license renewals. Introductory flights are available on 4-seat conventional aircraft like the Cessna 172 and Piper Archer, allowing prospective students to experience flying.

The flight school emphasizes the joy, experience, and fascination of learning to fly, alongside qualities such as flexibility, discipline, responsibility, concentration, and enjoyment. It is an ideal facility for student pilots seeking comprehensive training in a supportive environment with access to a fleet of single-engine aircraft.

Thun Airfield's central location allows access to all Swiss airfields within about an hour, often flying over impressive Alpine scenery. The group also offers scenic flights over the Swiss mountains and lowlands, gift vouchers, and pilot experience flights. This makes it attractive for both training and recreational flying enthusiasts.
