Aeropole will arrange the next A-UPRT theoretical course on Monday, August 26th, 09:45-16:00 at Aviapolis (Vantaa) training base. You may also ask for possibility to attend via telepresence. The practical training will be scheduled individually with every student.*

The A-UPRT course is mandatory for all commercial pilots before attending the first type rating course. The course includes five hours of theoretical instruction and three hours of practical flight training with an instructor. Our experienced instructors and the modern fleet will ensure a comfortable, safe, and fun experience!

The course price is 2 975 EUR (incl. VAT), including theoretical and practical training. Please register your attendance no later than Thursday, August 22th by contacting us.

We intend to organise the Instrument Rating Instructor course (for Aeroplanes) in accordance with Part-FCL at our HQ in Vantaa, Finland, this summer 2024. (If you are already a Flight Instructor, your licence issuing authority may use the abbreviation “FI-IR”, instead of “IRI”, to designate the privileges.) Get in touch if you are interested to make sure you don’t miss the train–such instructor courses are not scheduled every year!

German aviation magazine Fliegermagazin has once again awarded the best general aviation products and their providers at the AERO Friedrichshafen fair. The awards were given in nine different categories, and were chosen based on the votes of Fliegermagazin’s readers.

One of the award recipients was the Diamond DA62, which won first prize in the Twin-Engine category. This twin-engine aircraft has proven to be a versatile and reliable choice among general aviators. Its modern design and powerful engines ensure a smooth flying experience, and its spacious interior allows for up to six passengers to travel together with the pilot.

The Diamond DA62 is also an extremely cost-effective choice, with excellent fuel efficiency and reasonable maintenance costs. This makes it an attractive option for both quality-conscious private individuals and businesses seeking smooth travel experiences.

Diamond’s flagship twin-engine aircraft is equipped with two Austro Engine AE330 engines, which offer top-of-the-line performance even for demanding pilots. The DA62’s cockpit features a Garmin G1000 NXi avionics system, which provides pilots with quickly accessible crucial information about the flight, enhancing both the flying experience and safety.

The aircraft’s interior is spacious and modern, offering a pleasant travel experience for both pilots and passengers. The DA62 seats up to seven people, and its ample cargo space provides plenty of room for luggage. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses, families, and groups of friends. The aircraft’s cabin is highly customizable to suit your preferences, of course.
