Grundlagen der Luftfahrtpraxis | TUM – Institute of Flight System Dynamics

Fundamentals of Practical Flight Lab

Announcements
As an accredited flight school, we proudly offer students the opportunity to pursue the theory of a Private Pilot License (PPL). Alongside the regular academic program, participants can prepare for and complete the official examination administered by the aviation authority (Luftamt Südbayern). This combination provides a unique chance to complement your aerospace studies with professional pilot training. Students who wish to participate are kindly asked to contact Cpt. Josef Hartl no later than two months before the beginning of the lecture. For further information, please refer to the poster and the FAQ.
