It is for such clients that the flying club pilots have provided the opportunity for trial lessons. If you like to feel like the master of the airspace and enjoy the magnificent views of Northern Palmyra - please sign up for lessons with our instructors and after a while you will be able to take to the skies on your own. Moreover, many of our students, who show special diligence, at the end of their training feel very confident at the controls of the aircraft.
What else is interesting about training on an airplane at the Aviadukh aviation club?
There are a lot of organizations providing this kind of service in St. Petersburg, but the vast majority of those who want to learn how to fly an ultralight airplane prefer the Aviadukh club. A number of factors contribute to this:
- The professionalism of the instructors and the desire to really teach a person how to fly. Of course, attention is paid to the theoretical part, but the main emphasis will be only on practical exercises. After all, only the time spent in the sky will determine your success as a novice pilot!
- Favorable prices. Please note that we are currently running a promotion - the cost of the training course has been halved and is 5,800 rubles! No other flying club in Russia will offer you such conditions!
- Training takes place on airplane models, which are easy to control even for novice pilots. Lessons are always a joy, because a person quickly learns and independently operates his own aeronautical transport. And the instructor pilot sits nearby and simply observes, pointing out possible errors and inaccuracies;
Would you like to give an interesting gift? There is an interesting option
At the Aviadukh aviation club, this is a wonderful gift for your loved one! There is nothing better than looking at St. Petersburg from a bird's eye view while flying an airplane yourself! to a loved one!
The priority area of activity of the Aist flying club has become the training of amateur pilots (private pilots) wishing to obtain a PPL (Private Pilot License). The flight school provides training on Yak-18T training aircraft, which have given more than one thousand Russian and foreign pilots a ticket to the skies.
Theory and practice of flying
Flight training courses (FTC) take place in two main stages: theoretical and practical training.
- The study of flight theory is carried out in Moscow, at the training base of our partners - the Wingspan Aviation Training Center. Previously, we taught theory ourselves, but we were faced with the fact that it was more convenient for our cadets to attend evening theoretical classes in Moscow during the week. The theoretical pilot training course includes the following subjects:
- air legislation;
- practical aerodynamics;
- aircraft design;
- aircraft navigation and navigation in the sky;
- aircraft power plant design;
- design of aviation and radio equipment;
- technical and flight operation of aircraft;
- rescue equipment, their use;
- meteorology in aviation;
- conduct and phraseology of radio communications;
- aviation security and many others. etc.
- The initial flight training program at the pilot school is conducted at the Beloomut airfield with an experienced pilot instructor. Cadets will acquire the following skills:
- ground pre-flight training for amateur pilots;
- primary piloting skills, first solo flight;
- flight at critically low and high air speeds;
- elimination of the spin effect in flight;
- takeoffs and landings in normal conditions and in strong crosswinds;
- recognition of stall (initial and developed) and recovery from it;
- takeoffs/landings in limited areas;
- training to fly using instruments only;
- flying along a developed route using visual references, using dead reckoning methods and radio navigation aids;
- flight with emergency simulation: engine failure, on-board equipment, etc.;
- night flights and many others. etc.
Procedure and duration of training:
- The duration of the theoretical course is 172 hours (approximately four months). At the end of the training, students are tested and take exams in all theoretical disciplines.
- The estimated duration of flight training is 42 hours. For effective training, development and maintenance of piloting skills, regular flight time of at least two hours per week is required. Otherwise, there will be no progress, and learning to fly an airplane and obtaining a private pilot certificate will be delayed indefinitely. After completing the course, examinations are carried out on aircraft navigation and piloting techniques.
- You can start performing training flights in Moscow at the same time as attending theoretical classes.
- Upon successful passing of the theoretical and flight training exams, the registration documents are transferred to the Working Group of the Higher Qualification Commission of the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviation) of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation (RG VKK).
- After passing the certification, the graduate will be awarded a private pilot license PPL (Private Pilot License). With this document you have the right to fly on private aircraft.
Cost of education
- Payment for the full course of study can be made in whole or in parts, in cash or by bank transfer.
- The cost of a theoretical pilot school course is 36,000 rubles. If you missed a lesson, you can easily attend a similar lecture on another day in another group.
- The average cost of a flight course is about 450,000 rubles. or 180 rub./min. The final price depends on several factors, among which a special role is played by the individual psychophysiological characteristics of the account - the type of nervous system, temperament properties. However, practice shows that the main ones are still motivational features - interest in flying, desire to learn, as well as persistence in mastering educational material, regularity of flights. In short, pilots are not born, but made. We will help you with this!
From the editor: This material was written by Ilya Naumov. Ilya is in love with small aviation, which Russia so lacks for the coherence of the country. We are glad to post Ilya’s story about how he started flying on his own, if only because he turned his hobby into a job and today works for the ChelAvia company.
Many office workers are well aware of the strong desire that comes at the end of the week to switch their brain to something other than the current job. People solve this problem in different ways: some go to a bar, some go to a bar, and some try to escape from routine with the help of extreme sports.
I offer you another interesting alternative - learn to fly an airplane. I'll tell you a few reasons why you should try it, and also try to dispel some popular myths about small aircraft.
So why will you enjoy flying?
New degree of freedom
Flying is perhaps one of the best ways to get to know your country. One and a half to two hours of flight from an airfield near Moscow - and now you are already in Lipetsk, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod or the Tver region. In the summer, at a leisurely pace during daylight hours, it is quite possible to fly to the south of Russia. Unlike car travel over such distances, flying by plane is much less tiring, and at the same time much more spectacular.
Even a flight near your “home” airfield can be very interesting - there are local natural or architectural attractions almost everywhere.
No boredom
Aviation is interesting, first of all, because the possibilities for self-improvement and development in it are almost limitless. Night flights, instrument flights, new types of aircraft, various types of avionics (on-board equipment), flights from water, aerobatics, jet technology, helicopters and gliders - the list is endless. The pilot studies his entire flying life - and still remains an amateur in many areas - this area of knowledge is so vast. If you are curious, are drawn to everything new and like to get to the bottom of things and strain your brain with various non-trivial tasks, most likely you will like flying.
Flying is an old dream of mankind. Now, with the development of flying clubs, it is becoming more and more accessible. Learning to fly has long ceased to be considered the preserve of a select few. There is a state pilot training program and special techniques. If you want to learn, we will provide all the conditions for you. At your disposal is an aircraft designed for training purposes and an experienced instructor.
We'll make you a pilot!
You will undergo flight training in full compliance with the Ultralight Pilot License with a maximum take-off weight of up to 495 kg. This program is approved by the Federal Air Transport Agency. The training is led by an experienced pilot instructor with 11 years of piloting experience.
Flight training. What will you be able to do?
- Plan flights.
- Conduct pre-flight preparation (including calculations, inspection of the aircraft, preparation for the use of instruments and equipment).
- Start the power plant.
- Perform taxiing, takeoff and landing.
- Maneuver within the established limitations for an aircraft of a given class and type.
- Take off and land at sites outside of airfields.
- Guide the flight along the route using visual cues.
- Know and follow the procedures prescribed for special flight cases.
- Know air traffic rules, radiotelephone rules and phraseology.
These skills fully meet the requirements for ultralight aircraft pilots.
Airplane flight training. What does it look like?
As part of your training, you will receive general flight training and practical experience necessary to independently pilot this class of aircraft and operate its equipment to the extent necessary for safe flight operations.
The training consists of a theoretical part and flight training and is carried out under the guidance of an authorized pilot instructor.
Flight training
Procedure for conducting a flight training lesson:
- Pre-flight preparation. You independently make the necessary calculations, inspect the aircraft, and prepare instruments and equipment for use.
- Receiving a flight assignment. The assignment is given by your instructor.
- Training flight. The flight is carried out in accordance with the assigned assignment, with an instructor or independently (depending on the stage of training and the level of your training). As a rule, the flight is performed in a circle - to master takeoff and landing. To practice maneuvering and special cases (stall, engine failure, etc.), flights are carried out in the flight zone. At the final stages of training, subject to good preparation, flights are carried out along a developed route with landing at other airfields and at a site with air pick-up.
Behavior skills in special cases of flight
As part of the training, behavior skills in emergency and emergency situations are instilled:
- Engine failure.
- Control failure.
- Emergency landing.
- Stopping and starting the engine in flight.
- Engine fire in flight.
- The smell of gasoline appears in the cabin.
- Entering an area of hazardous weather conditions.
- Recovering an aircraft from an unintentional stall and spin.
- Failure of the power supply system for devices with total and static pressure.
Flight hours
The training program for pilots of ultralight aircraft stipulates that in order to qualify as an amateur pilot, it is enough to fly 30 hours and 40 minutes. From these hours:
- solo piloting time – 12 hours;
- flight time along the route is 4 hours.
In reality, these standards do not fully take into account the individual characteristics of each cadet. In order to let him fly on his own, the instructor must be convinced that the cadet is confident in his piloting technique. After this, you must fly independently for at least 12 hours.
For safety reasons and full mastery of independent piloting, we recommend taking into account another standard that we developed in the process of practical training: 40-50 hours.
Our advantages
- Extensive instructor and teaching experience. The instructor pilot trained at the Austrian flying club and has 11 years of piloting and teaching experience.
- An aircraft designed for training purposes. Fully duplicated control. During flights with an instructor, all your actions are carefully monitored and insured.
- Tandem crew arrangement. You sit in front, nothing blocks your view, no one distracts you from the flight mission. The instructor is behind you. He has the ability to insure you by taking over control.
- Characteristics that ensure safe learning. Ease of operation. Low takeoff and landing speeds. Rescue system.
Airplane flight training. Price
The cost of all training is calculated based on the cost of a flight hour. In accordance with current standards, we have established a minimum approved cost of 8,000 rubles.
In total you need to fly at least 30 hours 40 minutes.
