Have you fallen in love with the sky for a long time? Are recreational flights not enough for you and want to take a balloon up in the air by yourself? Do you dream to become a member of Air Brotherhood?
Welcome to the Pilot School, training center with a certificate for pilot training!
Student may become a person who has reached 18 years old and passed the flight-doctor’s commission.
There is no maximum age restriction, the main thing – your desire. Our experienced instructors are ready to share their knowledge and turn you from an amateur into a real pilot.

Pilot School provides individual training for pilots of balloons, airships and preparing to issue a certificate in a certified aviation training center. Pilot’s certificate gives the right to perform independent free and tethered flights on a hot air balloon or an airship.

Initial warm air balloon pilot training includes:

  • theoretical training course
  • Practical course, at least 16 hours of instructor-assisted flying practice
  • Referral for medical examination for flight clearance
  • Provision with the necessary methodical training materials
  • multimedia support
  • aerostatic aircraft pilot certificate
  • warranty of safe and comfortable flights
  • Training at any convenient time for you
  • Insurance of the trainee in an insurance company
  • practical training time depends on the abilities of the trainee

In case a future pilot gives his/her own hot air balloon and gas cylinder refueling for the flight practice and provides an escort vehicle with fuel and lubricants, the cost of training is reduced by an amount equal to these costs. Accelerated theoretical training for cadets with aviation education is possible. Future pilots will receive general knowledge of balloon construction and operation, balloon flight theory, air law, aviation navigation, radio communications, and meteorology.
