We will be hosting an open doors event at Helsinki-Malmi airport on 8th of July, from 12 to 16 o’clock. You will have a chance to chat with our flight instructors, meet our sales representatives, get to know our fleet and spend a great day with like minded people in the world of aviation!

As of July 2020 we can serve our clients practically without restrictions — in practice only flights to/from Sweden are discouraged, although possible with a good reason.

Information below was valid as of Tue 24-Mar-2020 for operations in Finland. 

Due to the situation with the Corona virus, Aeropole has also had to adapt its service delivery accordingly and is trying to do its best to slow down the propagation of the virus and to mitigate the various consequences it has on the company operations. As of this writing, Aeropole continues both practical flight training as well as theory instruction, and services are provided at almost normal levels, bearing in mind we need to take special measures under these special times.

As a general rule, we are declining visitors during these times, but one-on-one instruction on a confirmed appointment is possible.

Flight Operations and Maintenance

Aircraft Rental

Aircraft rental is still possible almost as usual—only flights abroad are forbidden until further notice. This applies to PIC flights by Diamond Cadets, any skill tests/proficiency checks/assessments of competence, as well as any other aircraft rental. We have lowered the daily reservation minimums for most aircraft and are not charging for even last-minute cancellations if made for health reasons.

Practical Flight Training

Operations continue normally, with regular disinfection of cockpits and shared computers, larger separation of flight planning desks etc. Luckily, in the kind of 1:1 tuition that flight training is, a single instructor instructing only a handful of clients, each one by one, we are not in the highest risk.

Maintenance

Our aircraft maintenance organisation continues to operate as normally as possible, given the circumstances.

Theoretical Instruction

Now it is obviously a good moment to catch up on theoretical studies at home. Theoretical instruction continues as much as possible, given instructor availability.

Ground Schools

Physical attendance is strongly discouraged and instead, now is a great time to try out the virtual attendance option. We will limit the number of physical attendees to 4-6 case by case and depending on classroom size.

However listening-in attendees, i.e. those who have not fulfilled the necessary GS prerequisites to get the attendance mark, are not allowed to participate: neither in classroom (to lower the contamination risk), nor virtually (in order to preserve the bandwidth to those in bigger need).

Registration in advance is required as usual, but we reserve the right to prioritise attendees based on their stage of studies and real needs and hence to refuse attendance in some cases.

Last-minute cancellations due to instructor availability (or more stringent health measures later on) are of course possible and more likely than normally.

Examinations

Final Exam opportunities will be provided on a limited, prioritised, as-needed basis. First-attempt candidates will be prioritised. Please make extra sure during these times that you have a high likelihood of passing the exam on the first attempt!

By default the responsibility of organising the CAA (Traficom) exams rests with the CAA, who have on 17-Mar suspended offering them at Kumpulantie in Helsinki until 14-Apr and informed they would provide extra opportunities on 15-16 April. The convenience option of sitting CAA exams at Aeropole’s premises is more or less suspended and reserved for really high-priority cases only.

This information is valid on the date above written and may change without prior notice, especially if competent authorities mandate compulsory other measures. We hope you can focus on your flight training even in these difficult times, knowing that your health and that of our staff is of paramount importance to us all at Aeropole.

To maintain our promise to you and to be able to provide outstanding pilot training and customer service, we will be modifying our pricing with effect from September 1st, 2019 due to increased cost. The new prices will be updated on our Finland price list.

Aeropole Denmark ApS has just got its latest Diamond, and this one is going to be permanently based in Roskilde, where Aeropole Denmark is strengthening its presence also by investing in premium-quality hangar and office space in Hangarvej D/E.

This DA40NG, OH-WOW from 2017, is made available for rental to qualified pilots after a checkout and is of course the main tool for all IFR training in Roskilde, when a single engine suffices. OH-WOW has the Garmin GFC700 autopilot, WAAS, Avidyne Traffic Advisory System, WX-500 Stormscope, and Jeppesen Flitecharts to name a few of the goodies. At FL100 it cruises at 140 kt powered by its Austro Engine of 168 hp, has more than 7 h of endurance at best and more load-carrying capacity than the older  TDI variants.

Of interest to all IFR pilots, it has practically all PBN approvals possible in its category (B-RNAV, P-RNAV, LNAV/VNAV, LPV, etc.).

Such a DA40NG can also be yours in about a year’s time if you order one now (approx. price 480k€) — get in touch now, as Aeropole Denmark is also the Diamond sales representative for Denmark. For those preferring to rent ours by the hour, it is available currently at 2280 DKK/h. Terms and conditions apply, and prices are subject to change.
