HI!
I recently did my PPL Training with this school and I can say I am very satisfied with the training and the admin team who helped me with the whole process including accommodation and transport
i would definitely recommend this school if you are looking to do as many hours as possible in the shortest time because from my experience I’ve noticed they have more aircraft’s than students at certain times of the year
the training you receive differs from instructor to instructor because there is no set company standards but regardless they will do everything they can to help you pass.. I passed my checkride first time in the worst conditions possible
i will be going back in march to get the rest of my ratings so if you will be there I hope we get to meet 😁
no hidden costs only additional costs you have to pay yourself is for accommodation, transport exam fees and maybe landing fees for other airports (I say maybe because I landed in a few and didn’t pay but can’t say if that’s just for me or for all students)
mid you have any questions about my experience at this school you can email me on [email protected] or on instagram @mimchi__

They are not organized at all. We had an agreement with them for a training, they went sideways 5 days before the starting date. They dont appreciate the customer really. Deal with them on your own risk. There are better schools in Szeged and Budapest - more serious and with better infrastructure. Kalocsca runway is crap, and also the place is in the middle of nowhere - believe me. Good luck.

Fastest and Cost-Effective ICAO to EASA Conversion
Hi, I was trying to convert an ICAO license in France and I almost gave up my life. I have lived in about 6 countries, including some 3rd world countries, but France's administration is the slowest I have seen in any part of the world. I was surprised to see this kind of ****ty bureaucracy in a 1st world country like France. Even the schools are just terrible, very racist, administrative emails take forever, like months literally. Eventually, waiting for things to happen, I decided to look elsewhere in Europe.
Looking for an alternative, one school in Switzerland got my attention because of the reaction speed. I was getting replies immediately. I went to see them the next week, and I was really impressed by their professionalism and their facility. As they say it was really Swiss quality with cheese haha. I have been in aviation for 16 years, dealing with multiple schools, multiple civil aviation authorities, these Swiss guys got my attention immediately. It is a small school operating from Bern Airport. The Swiss scenery is just an add-on, talking about value they provide is just crazy. You deal directly with the owner who is also a Civil Aviation flight examiner. Very high standard, very high compassion, they see your problem as their problem, tailor-made program. Most importantly, there is no waiting game. 2 weeks intensive conversion program (provided you have your EASA ATPL papers, class 1 medical, and valid ICAO license with ratings), and the license on the same day or next day when you give your checkride. Even with the Swiss prices, it was much cheaper than France. Having been in this industry for this many years I really know when I see efficient people and Tom (owner of the school) is one of them.
Alpaviation, Bern - Look for Tom.
I'm posting this to spread the word as the school is not into marketing. Almost all students are just word of mouth. I am doing my best to give them some reach.
Feel free to contact me if you need more details.

But then they don't write anymore, what's going on there, are they working? Because contact form on the site is also with error, you can only write to their flytaxi address.

ok thank for you reply. Do you surely know Csaba there, can you please remind him of me (Dimitri) or ask why he didn't reply anymore? And how it is there, if many students and how is the weather? And maybe you already can tell who a previous guys meant as there are some instructors not that perfect? What did you mean actually you go do HB??

RUHUCH Hi! What are you going to bring with you for your PPL course? Is Ipad necessary to do PPL? Do they provide any learning materials for PPL? Where the ground school takes place?
I am also interested. Planning to start a PPL there. If anyone has experience with them please share with me.
Also regarding the weather during winter in Hungary, I heard winters are quite mild the past few years which means good flight weather??
How is the availability of instructors?Are there hidden cost like they want the students to take extra hours or keep delaying the training?
Thank you in advance!

Recent winters have been very mild, whether that's a permanent thing (as a result of the global trend) or just a passing phase I can't say!
Also this last winter was, I think, ideal for flying with a lot of beautiful clear days.

Best Fly review for timebuilding and AUPRT
Took me 16 days to build 85h. The price you see on the website is the price I paid per hour 110€/h with safety pilot included. If you wish to fly without the safety pilot you can ask the owner of the school and see if they let you fly solo, in some occasions they do, but is not the norm. I flew 6h a day 6 days in a row with the seventh day being off, exhausting lol but doable and fast. You are not allowed to fly outside of the country, kind of a bummer because I would have liked to see the neighboring countries and different radios/procedures but meh. The safety pilots will suggest routes that include free fields to practice touch and goes, which are usually grass fields, if you like them then you will enjoy the experience since there are lots around the country. If you wish to go to any other field that have a landing fee, you will foot the bill. I asked for the accommodation they offer and the apartment exceeded my expectations specially for the price 20€/night.
Plane conditions The planes undergo maintenance at a nearby field and for the small repairs they have in house maintenance and mechanic on call, overall the planes are well maintained but I did see some with some funky avionics, I asked and they said is because they are on the process of updating the cockpit to glass and that's why they don't bother replacing them since the upgrade is happening soon. (mhmmmmaight) also some of the plane tires are working overtime.
Airfield Is an uncontrolled airfield property of the school where the apron,taxiway and runway are in a 5/10 condition, the original runway if it were in operating condition it would be amazing, but they only use like 1/5th of it since that's how much they can maintain in workable condition.
AUPRT Done and dusted in 2 days, is cheap and teaches you how to get out of the real spins on a C152 aerobat, we practiced tehm quie a lot since they did not bother me, I enjoyed the experience and learning from the instructor who is a retired aerobat pilot among others.
Safety pilots The safety pilots most of them are also PPL instructors for the school, and they all have different ways of flying the plane and how/what they want done and when. What I mean: one time I was on the base leg and the safety pilot yelled at me for selecting flaps 10 on this leg since it is what I learned during my PPL. Come the next day to fly with another one, I purposely don't select flaps on base and I get yelled for not selecting it, so.. yeah... they tend to forget that you are not a student in the sense that they should not act as teachers but oh well (if you want to know more I'll speak more on it by DM) Over all great experience, I got exactly what I payed for, fast time building, and good treatment. Even though there are not many reviews online there were quite a lot of students completing different stages of training. They have a total of 3 C172 they have 2 others but they are undergoing upgrade of the cockpit, 7 C152, 1 piper Seneca, another multi but is currently out of commission. Quite a lot of planes. I did my TB on the 152's mostly but if you ask and they are free you can fly the C172's which I did in some occasions. Hope it helps!

They also provide you with the question bank in the PPL course material which you should memorise because they are 90% similar to the Hungarian CAA exams. I say 90% because they have changed the question bank for principles of flight since 2023 I think.

i am after a list of ATOs recognized by the hungarian CAA (NHK)
their whole webpage looks like an underdeveloped ground school web project with no info on anything whatsoever, though HU is a part of EASA and are obliged to publish such info
anyone knows how to find it please step up

Alpaviation is great. Tom is a fantastic person who works tirelessly, always with a smile. He's more like a friend who has solutions for all your problems, haha. They are a small school, which allows for personalized attention. FOCA is also highly impressive, with open communication channels and minimal downtime. I appreciate the Swiss approach to things.
