Why is Akademia Pilotów a reliable choice for future pilots?
We compare the real challenges of the market with our approach: transparent policies, a modern fleet, and instructors with airline experience.
Common challenges at other centers
- Flights limited to warm, rain-free days – Wet tracks can put training on hold for up to half the season.
- Unpredictable surcharges for landing fees, flying club membership, or training materials.
- A fleet consisting of aircraft over 25 years old without modern avionics and amenities for the student.
- Instructors without active field experience – no commercial prospects in the training.
Our answer at "Akademia Pilotów"
- We conduct training sessions 365 days a year thanks to our all-weather concrete runway (680 m).
- The price of 42,750 PLN (including tax) includes comprehensive hands-on training – with no hidden fees or additional premiums.
- We fly on a modern PS-28 Cruiser with a glass cockpit, ensuring comfort and safety.
- You are trained by active airline pilots and Civil Aviation Authority examiners with actual commercial experience.

I did my PPL(A) here. The entire training took about six weeks. Excellent instructors, nice airplanes, and a paved runway. They also helped me arrange a loan for my education and exam. The atmosphere is pleasant. I highly recommend it.

Zrobiłem tutaj PPL(A), całe szkolenie zajęło mi ok 6tygodni, bardzo dobrzy instruktorzy, fajne samoloty i asfaltowy pas. Pomogli mi też zorganizować pożyczkę na kształcenie oraz egzamin. Przyjemna atmosfera. Gorąco polecam.
I highly recommend it! A great and friendly atmosphere, the instructors are understanding and demanding, which is definitely a huge plus, because thanks to such thorough preparation, the exam is practically a formality. …

Gorąco polecam! Świetna i miła atmosfera, instruktorzy wyrozumiali, wymagający, ale to zdecydowanie ogromny plus, bo dzięki tak solidnemu przygotowaniu, egzamin jest w zasadzie formalnością. Warto dodać, że instruktorzy odpowiedzą na wszystkie pytania i rozwieją wszelkie wątpliwości, co wbrew pozorom nie jest normą (a powinno być). Przy dobrej pogodzie można sprawnie ukończyć szkolenie PPL(A), za sprawą bardzo wysokiej dostępności instruktorów. Lotnisko betonowe, więc latanie po deszczu nie stanowi tam problemu, jak na lotniskach trawiastych! Do zobaczenia w powietrzu!
The perfect place to build your flight time and launch a career in aviation. Aircraft are readily available, and management is helpful and professional. I recommend it to any pilot!
