Overview
The flight school at the Aérodrome de Grenoble‐Le Versoud (ICAO code: LFLG) is located in Le Versoud near Grenoble in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, France. The terrain has an asphalt runway of 900 meters in length and a grass track – allowing take-offs and landings of both light powered aircraft and ULM. Several airlines, training providers and air sports groups are active at the airport. As a result, the Versoud offers a wide range of different pilot training courses, from ULM to powered flight to gliding and helicopter training.
Offer of training
The Versoud covers different aviation divisions:
– ULM flight (ULM pendulaire or multi-axle) via providers such as Alpes ULM or Passion ULM.
– Classic powered flight over clubs or Flight schools, among others through the local Aéroclub du Dauphiné or an association of several clubs and providers.
– Gliding over Grenoble Vol à Voile.
– Helicopter/helicopter training or flights via providers such as Mont-Blanc Hélicoptères (FHATO).
– There are also offers for trial flights and “discovery flights” or first flight experiences (“baptêmes de l’air / vols découvertes”) – ideal for beginners or interested parties.
Requirements
Depending on the selected design, the requirements differ greatly. For ULM and trial flights, no long-term experience is often necessary – interested parties can usually start directly with a briefing and an accompanied flight. For formal pilot training (powered flight, heli, gliding) usually standard requirements must be met: minimum age, medical fitness and, if necessary, theoretical and practical examinations – more details can be found at the respective school or provider at Versoud.
