Safety Wings AG

Safety Wings AG is an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) in Aadorf, Switzerland. It provides theory training for helicopter and aeroplane pilots at all theory levels. The company says it has trained helicopter and aeroplane pilots since 1990.

The company says it has helped more than 3,000 pilots through basic and further training. Its courses prepare pilots to carry out their tasks in the cockpit in a professional and safe way.

For aeroplanes, the school offers theory courses for the private pilot licence (PPL), commercial pilot licence (CPL), instrument rating (IR), BIR, CBIR, airline transport pilot licence (ATPL) and high performance aircraft (HPA). The company says its aeroplane theory training suits all aircraft sizes and weight classes.

For helicopters, the school offers distance learning for the PPL. It also offers courses for the CPL, the IR, and ATPL for VFR and IFR flying. The company says its helicopter training is designed for helicopter pilots.

The HPA course is for pilots who want to fly larger and faster aircraft, such as the PC-12 or a Cessna Citation. It can be taken as VFR only or as VFR and IFR. The site lists at least 10 hours of classroom time for VFR and at least 16 hours for VFR and IFR.

The school also offers radiotelephony courses, including RTF VFR, RTF IFR and individual RTF in German or English. It offers language proficiency (LPC) training as well.

Classes are held at three locations: Aadorf, Sursee and Altenrhein. Altenrhein is at Hangar B2. Students can register online, and the school prepares them for the Swiss BAZL theory exam.

For the HPA course, the site lists a basic fee of CHF 1,200, plus about CHF 350 for course books and tools. Private lessons cost CHF 115 per hour, or CHF 85 per person per hour for two or more people. Students can register online to start their training.
