Choosing your package

1 question, 2 answers.

Two things matter: whether you've already done your intro, and whether you buy your gear from us.

🪂
Have you already done your intro?
First steps + first flight already settled separately? They're deducted from your package, plus 5% loyalty off on top. And if you buy your new gear from the school, you get CHF 450 off your gear invoice — a separate discount that does not change the course price.

Already have your kit, or buying it elsewhere?
We provide the gear for your first 15 flights, then you fly with your own equipment.

The packages

Supervised flights, all the way to going solo.

Whichever you choose, you follow the same complete course with the same support throughout. The differences: your gear — and how long your course runs if you pick the Pro version.

Loyalty benefit

The maths, no small print.

The Loyalty Package deducts 5% loyalty off the 50-flight package, plus your CHF 520 intro since it's settled separately. The CHF 450 discount on new gear is a separate bonus, on top, if you buy it from the school.

No-Purchase Package (base)
CHF 2,910
− 5% loyalty discount
−CHF 145
− Intro already settled first steps + first flight, settled separately — independent of gear
−CHF 520
Loyalty Package — total
CHF 2,245
Two reductions, on two separate invoices: −CHF 145 on the course (5% loyalty), and — separately — CHF 450 off your gear invoice if you buy your gear new from the school. The gear discount never reduces the course price.

No licence commitment

“Just want to give it a go”, not (yet) the licence?

Three taster packages to try the activity out, without committing to the full course.

First-steps intro

2 hrs on the training slope + 1 instructional tandem flight.

250 CHF

First-flight preparation

All the way to your first solo flight.

270 CHF

Complete Package

Both combined (= intro + first flight).

520 CHF
⚠️ These “taster” packages are there to try the activity out. If you then decide to go for the licence, nothing is lost or paid for twice: these stages are already part of the licence package. We deduct whatever you've already paid.
Beyond the package

À la carte options.

Frequently asked questions

We've got the answers.

How long is my package valid for?
Your package can be used within the 12 months following invoicing. You progress at your own pace, weekday or weekend, and the school works around your availability.
What happens after my 50 flights?
If you've reached the required level and passed the exam, you become an autonomous SHV/FSVL pilot. If not, you can keep flying with us at CHF 30 / flight to finish your preparation — or take your progression to any other school.
If the weather cancels a session, do I lose my flight?
No — any cancellation due to poor weather is rescheduled at no charge. You can change a date up to 7 days before the activity.
The Loyalty Package (CHF 2,245) assumes I've already done my intro. What if I haven't?
No problem — the intro (first steps + first flight, CHF 520) simply gets added to your package; get in touch and we'll include it. The 5% loyalty discount still applies either way; the CHF 450 discount on new gear also remains available, independently, if you buy it from the school.
Can I switch packages partway through?
Yes, that's possible if you decide in the end to buy your gear from the school. Get in touch with the team — we'll adjust your package to apply the loyalty discount to the remaining services.
Is the school gear right for me?
Yes — we use EN/LTF-certified, school-level gear, perfectly suited to a beginner student's progression. That's exactly why we chose it: we use it every day in real conditions before putting it in your hands.
What insurance do I need?
For the course: non-occupational accident insurance that covers free flight. To fly with your own gear after the course: free-flight liability insurance plus a valid FSVL membership number.
How do I pay?
Cash, Twint, or a gift voucher online (card payment). Payments are made before the activity. Specific arrangements are possible for longer courses.
What age can you start at?
From age 14 for the solo pilot licence course. From age 6 for tandem discovery flights (with written consent from a parent or legal guardian).

In short

The Solo Licence · 50-flight course costs CHF 2,910, intro included. If you've already settled your intro separately (CHF 250 first steps + CHF 270 first-flight prep = CHF 520), then with the 5% loyalty discount (−CHF 145) you have CHF 2,245 of course left to pay (Loyalty Package).

If you also buy your new gear from the school, you get CHF 450 off your gear invoice — this discount does not reduce the course price. The course and the gear are two separate invoices.

So: intro already paid + gear bought from the school → CHF 2,245 for the course, plus your gear invoice reduced by CHF 450.
