At Academy 4, Aviation Academy, the training partner for Pipistrel and the developer of the Pipistrel Academy with the Pipistrel Academy LAB training programme, we are offering several options for foreign pilots and students.
All training in Slovenia takes place between 1.st April and 1.st December due to weather factors. Slovenia is one of the best places for light aircraft flying, since it provides three different sceneries (Alpine, Coastal and Central) all within one hour of flight.
ELEMENTARY TRAINING PACKAGE
Each student pilot contemplating training in Slovenia must first undergo an elementary training package. This includes:
- type e-learning on pipistrel-online.com
- 10 flight hours
- three lectures
- one simulator (X-ALPHA) session
This can be covered in ten days of stay in Slovenia out of which at least 8 days must be flyable.
The cost of the elementary training package is 2000 EUR for the training content. Additional costs include own transport to location and lodging.
The number of elementary training packages each year is extremely limited and is available only by prepayment.

If you are a student pilot from abroad, we recommend the following accommodation:

The location of our base airport (LJCL) is given on the map below:
Apart from the Hostel Plus Caffe, we also recommend two locations out of which first is economical (Hotel Celeia, between 50 – 72 EUR per night), and second is optimum (Hotel Europa, between 96 – 121 EUR per night). However, apart from the aforementioned, both require the use of the rent-a-car. All of these locations and recommended direction on how to get to the airfield are given on the above map.
