Flight Training for PPL(A)
Flight training at Akademija 4 takes place at Levec Airport near Celje, Slovenia. To enhance training efficiency, we combine simulator sessions with real flight experiences. This dual approach reinforces procedural knowledge, allowing for smoother real-world flights and reducing the resources needed for comprehensive pilot training.
Students must complete a minimum of 45 flight hours before taking the skill test, though most realistically need 50-55 hours to be fully prepared.
While the training can be compressed into a few months, it is recommended to spread it over a year to gradually absorb the material and experience flying in all four seasons.
There’s no time limit for training, and you can use the X-ALPHA 200 simulator for free to maximize your flight hours and bridge longer gaps between sessions.
Akademija 4 offers a detailed cost breakdown and flexible payment plans, letting you start flying with an initial payment for 5 hours, then pay after flying at the end of the month, with free access to the X-ALPHA simulator to maintain skills during breaks.
