Lentokoulu Pirkanmaa Oy is a flight school founded by a long line of professionals, which is aimed at both novice pilots and those who want to improve their skills and competences up to instrument flight training and multi-engine training.
We train the private pilot license in small groups of 4 to 10 students with flexible schedules so that the training can be done alongside work in the evenings and weekends on the student's terms.
All of our members and teachers are aviation professionals from different fields. Theory training takes the form of classroom teaching. Flight training takes place on the world's most common type of school aircraft, the Cessna 152 or, if you prefer, the Cessna 172, both of which are highly appropriate aircrafts for both training and hobby flying. We also have the BA-28161 Warrior.
Training is also possible with the FNPT Simulator. The simulator is used for PPL basic instrument training and instrument flight training.
The training will lead to a Private Pilot License (PPL), from which you may wish to progress gradually to instrument rating, multi-engine airplanes or even as a commercial pilot.
In addition to the PPL, we provide the opportunity to complete inspection and refresher school flights.
We provide cruise IFR training (EIR) and full IFR flight training.
Our head office is located at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport, where we have been operating since 2009. Flight training is also possible at Mikkeli Airport
