AEROTOURS Flight School in Strausberg
AEROTOURS is a flight school and aviation organisation based in Strausberg near Berlin, which has been training pilots for private and professional use for many years. At the Strausberg airfield site, training rooms, simulators and a dedicated fleet are available, so that theory and practice are closely integrated. The school is aimed at beginners who want to gain initial flight experience as well as budding airline pilots who are looking for a complete professional training.
Offer of training
The flight school covers a wide range of training. This includes classic private pilot licenses, modular and integrated commercial pilot training courses up to airline-oriented commercial pilot licenses. In addition, instrument ratings, multi-engine class ratings, flight instructor training and courses in the field of multi-crew cooperation and jet orientation are offered. Special training courses such as upset prevention and recovery training, language exams or refresher flights for licensed pilots are also part of the programme.
Costs and training options at a glance
The cost of pilot training always depends on several factors: license type, scope of theory, required flight hours, aircraft patterns and individual learning progress. Basically, a pure private pilot license is significantly cheaper than a complete professional pilot training with an airline focus. Integrated programs bundle all training components into one overall package, while modular pathways can be built step by step. For a realistic and binding calculation, interested parties should seek out a personal offer directly from the flight school, as individual prior knowledge, desired additional rights and possible discounts are also taken into account there.

Conditions for training
Which requirements apply depends on the respective license. Entry-level licences such as LAPL or PPL generally require a minimum age of 16 to 17 years for solo flight and an aero-medical certificate. Higher licenses such as CPL or ATPL require a Medical Class 1, a higher minimum age, and some degrees in school or English. In addition, there are personal qualities such as good concentration, teamwork and a sense of responsibility. Before starting the training, a detailed consultation with the flight school is always recommended in order to clarify which training path and which medical and educational requirements apply in the specific case.
FAQ about AEROTOURS flight school
For whom is the flight school AEROTOURS particularly suitable?
AEROTOURS is aimed at both amateur pilots who want to obtain a solid private pilot license and applicants who are working specifically for a career in the airline cockpit. Due to the wide range of training offers, beginners and advanced students can find suitable programs.
Can I start directly with a professional pilot training?
Yes, in addition to modular construction paths, the flight school also offers integrated programs with which you can enter a complete professional pilot training without a prior license. In a preliminary discussion, it will be checked which path fits your goals and previous knowledge.
How long does pilot training usually take?
The duration depends on the course of training. Integrated ATPL training can take about 18 to 24 months when fully focused on training. Modular training usually takes longer, as individual steps such as PPL, instrument flight and commercial pilot license are completed one after the other and often take place in part-time.
What medical requirements do I have to meet?
A medical certificate shall be required before commencing training. For private pilots, a Medical Class 2 is usually sufficient, for aspiring commercial pilots, a Medical Class 1 is required. The examination is carried out by licensed pilots.
Do I need certain school degrees or previous knowledge?
Private licenses are usually not required for a special school degree, but solid mathematical and English basic knowledge is helpful. For a commercial pilot training, many flight schools expect at least the middle maturity or Abitur or a comparable qualification. Technical understanding and motivation are also important.
What additional costs do I have to expect in addition to the course fees?
In addition to the actual course fees, further costs may be added, for example for medical examination, teaching materials, examination and administration fees, headset, if applicable. Accommodation on site or additional training hours if more practice is needed than provided in the package.
Can I take into account existing flight experience?
If you already have a license or documented flight experience, this can in many cases be counted towards modular training. It is best to discuss the scope and possibilities directly with the training management, who will review your documents.
Is it possible to take a taster flight in advance?
Many flight schools offer trial flights or get-together appointments so that interested parties can experience the environment, the aircraft and the team. Such an appointment is a good decision-making aid before you decide on a longer training path.
Are theoretical content also offered online or hybrid?
Depending on the type of course, parts of the theory can take place online, via e-learning or in hybrid formats. Presence phases on site remain particularly important for practical exercises, exams and simulator training. Concrete models and forms of teaching can be found directly from the school.
What are the job prospects after an ATPL or CPL education?
The aviation industry is subject to economic fluctuations, but in the medium term, well-trained pilots will still be needed. With a solid education, additional entitlements and a professional application, you increase your chances on the job market. The flight school can support you with recommendations, contacts and advice when entering the practice.
Can I combine education with study?
AEROTOURS works together with partner universities so that pilot training can be combined with a business-oriented study programme. This allows you to simultaneously acquire aviation qualifications and an academic degree – an advantage for later career paths inside and outside the cockpit.
