You didn’t need faith to fly, you needed to understand flying. This is just the same.
Richard BACH, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

I am qualified as an instructor for commercial, private, ultralight and drone pilots. My aim is to guide you every step of the way to help you achieve your ambitions in aviation.
What are the different pilot licences?
Glider pilot licence
This is suitable for those who wish to fly aircraft without the assistance of an engine. This licence is ideal for learning basic flying skills and for leisure flying. Rapidly accessible, it provides a good understanding of flight techniques and aerology. It generally allows only one passenger in addition to the pilot.
ULM Licence
Ultra Light Motorised : Perfect for those wishing to fly aircraft that are light in weight but powered by an engine, this licence is ideal for leisure flights. Quickly accessible, it offers great freedom but remains limited in terms of weight (max 600kg) and, like the glider pilot’s licence, generally allows only one passenger in addition to the pilot.
ATPL Licence
Airline Transport Pilot License : The ATPL is the highest qualification for airline pilots. It allows pilots to assume the role of captain on multi-pilot aircraft, whatever their tonnage, for commercial transport flights.
PPL Licence
Private Pilot License : The Private Pilot Licence is designed for amateur pilots wishing to fly aircraft on a non-commercial basis. It allows them to make private flights as pilot-in-command and to carry passengers without remuneration.
CPL Licence
Commercial Pilot License : The CPL licence is intended for pilots wishing to work in a professional capacity. It allows pilots to fly aircraft as pilot-in-command (a tonnage limit applies) or co-pilot (on all types of aircraft) on paid commercial flights.
What modules are essential for becoming a pilot?
During your training, you will learn the essential basics: aviation regulations, meteorology, aerodynamics, flight mechanics, air navigation and, of course, flying techniques. This fundamental knowledge is essential if you are to master all aspects of flying.
Are you an A320 airline pilot who wants to train for a selection exam or simply maintain your skills?
Thanks to Solid’air sim’s A320 fixed base simulator in Paris, I can help you prepare for OPC and LPC exams, as well as company selection exams.

First flight and introductory flight



A single wingtip feather, he found, moved a fraction of an inch, gives a smooth sweeping curve at tremendous speed.
Richard BACH, Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Enjoy an unforgettable experience with our first flights and introductory sessions! Whether you’re just curious or have a true passion for aviation, I offer you the opportunity to discover the thrills of flight and the joys of flying in a safe and welcoming environment.
Departing from the Saint-Ghislain aerodrome (Belgium) in a Cessna 172 or from the Valenciennes aerodrome (France) in a motorized ultralight aircraft, these flights promise an exciting adventure.
