If you're already familiar with flying, you'll be able to fly without the restrictions of the basic VDS, land at smaller airports, and much more!

Basic VDS Course

To take your first solo flight
The Basic VDS course is divided into a theoretical and practical section, followed by exams at the end of the training period. The certification allows you to fly without a passenger.

The theoretical section includes approximately 33 hours of lessons covering fundamental subjects like aerodynamics, meteorology, and regulations. The theory exam consists of 70 multiple-choice questions covering all course topics.
The practical section involves a minimum of 16 hours of dual-command flight with a certified instructor. The training is designed to teach you how to safely pilot and manage all flight phases, from pre-flight checks to shutdown, covering stalls, slow flight, turns, emergency simulations, and navigation.

Two-Seater Flight Course

For flying with company
The two-seater VDS Pilot certification allows pilots to carry a passenger, further exploring crucial topics already covered in the Basic Course, such as navigation and flight techniques.

The practical section lasts a minimum of 3 hours, during which you'll gain essential skills to ensure your passengers' safety and comfort.

Aeronautical Radio Course

For effective and timely communications
To obtain the Advanced VDS Pilot certification, it's essential to have the Aeronautical Radiotelephony License. However, whether you're a pilot or an aspiring one, our course provides you with the training needed to make the most of the radio equipment, now present in most VDS aircraft. This will improve your safety and that of others during flight operations.
The course qualifies you in Aeronautical Radiotelephony in Italian and, if needed, in English.

The course includes:
  •  Study materials
  •  Theoretical lessons, with part of the course dedicated to practical exercises, simulating real operational scenarios

Advanced VDS Course

For freedom
One year after passing the two-seater exam, you can earn the Advanced VDS certification. The course takes you to a new level of competence and safety in flight.
The theoretical section covers:
  •  Flight planning
  •  Airspace and regulations
  •  Using and interpreting charts
  •  Meteorology
  •  Managing flight in general aviation
The practical section involves putting your knowledge to use with flights within controlled airspaces, including operations at authorized airports.
The course includes:
