Orbit Groundschool BV

Orbit Groundschool is an aviation theory training company located in Arnhem, Netherlands. The organization states that it is Europe's largest provider of aviation theory instruction. It serves both new students and experienced pilots who need to complete or refresh their theoretical knowledge for various licenses and ratings.

The school offers classroom and distance learning programs for a broad range of certificates. Students can enroll in courses for the Airline Transport Pilot License for aeroplanes and helicopters, the Commercial Pilot License, the Private Pilot License, and several instrument ratings. The curriculum also covers Competency Based Instrument Rating, Basic Instrument Rating, and conversion courses for pilots holding ICAO licenses who need EASA credentials. Military pilots can follow a dedicated conversion program to obtain an ATPL.

Beyond theory courses, Orbit Groundschool provides APS MCC training and practical simulator instruction using an ALSIM ALX flight simulator. These sessions allow students to practice multi crew cooperation procedures and build technical skills before they advance to commercial operations.

Orbit Groundschool runs an Austro Control examination center at its facility in Arnhem. Students who finish the required brush up courses may take their EASA theory exams there. The exam center is also open to candidates who studied at other approved training organizations anywhere in the world. All exam activities are organized according to EASA regulations and conducted in coordination with Austro Control.

The school emphasizes flexible learning paths that adapt to individual schedules and goals. It combines traditional classroom instruction with online tools and study materials. This structure supports students who prefer to learn at their own pace while still receiving guidance from instructors.

Orbit Groundschool prepares students for aviation careers by connecting classroom study with industry requirements. Its programs are built to meet EASA standards and help students advance toward further flight training or professional pilot careers.
