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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does PPL(A) training cost?
The cost of the PPL(A) training is 42,750 PLN (gross). This is the total amount for the practical course—with no hidden costs, membership fees, or landing fees. Additionally, you must add the cost of medical examinations (approx. 800 PLN) and the Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) examination fees.
How long does the training last?
How long the PPL(A) course takes depends on your schedule. We can train you in as little as 2 months, depending on your availability and how often you fly. And thanks to our concrete runway, you can train all year round with no winter breaks.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes! We offer payment in installments. We can split the payment into 3 or 4 installments. We can also split the payment based on “flight hours” after each flight. We’ll go over the details during our consultation.
Can I combine the training with my job or studies?
Absolutely. Most of our students combine their training with work. We offer a flexible flight schedule (weekends, mornings, evenings) and e-learning, so you can study the theory at your own pace.
