Flying in Rome
 

Hey - anyone have any experience with flying in Rome?

I'm off for a few days with my girlfriend and I think it would be a really good chance to do some flying.

What are the JAA considerations, i've done a search but I could only find Roma club which was entirely in Italian

Many thanks

Bump :) :)

Italy, Italy......... the problem with Italy is that if somebody tells you something about Italy and it is valid today, tomorrow it will be a different story. But maybe only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays :)

Your JAA PPL should be good for an Italian reg plane.

In Rome, at L'Urbe airport, you can try:

Aerotech Tel +39068125100 www.aerotechroma.com
Aeroclub Roma Tel +39 06 8120297 www.aeroclubroma.it

Or you can train/drive 60km south to Latina Aeroclub (only weekends).

Unless you'd like to fly a Cub from a private strip just south of Rome.

For Latina or the Cub pm me for details.

Thanks for the messages, I emailed you =)

Yes, both of those organisations at Rome Urbe Airport (LIRU) are friendly - I dropped in a year or two ago looking for a PPL dual flight around the city. I left it too late in the day but they wanted to help.

The airport is about 5 miles north-east of the Vatican. You need to go through a metal detector etc before you can walk down to the GA hangers/offices.

The "Neuvo Salario" train/metro station is just a few minutes from the centre of Rome - from the station you walk through a long subway under the railway tracks visible below and you emerge opposite the airfield entrance (across a busy road):
