Flying clubs

2 flying clubs await you in Rodez:

Les Ailes Ruthénoises

The association has been in existence since 1933 and boasts 90 members of all age, including pilots and student pilots, either on plane or micro lights.

The flying club is opened year-round and provides:

First flights
Airborne introduction to becoming a pilot
Taking the pilot exam (ground and airborne lessons are provided by a professional flight instructor)

Social life at the Ailes Ruthénoises is very busy. Each year, we host:

An open-door day
An air show
Trips through France and abroad
A party
Public briefings
Outings and dinners
Various activities

Getting people to know more about aeronautics, and teaching the youth; both lie at the heart of our undertakings:

“Brevet d’Initiation Aéronautique” (BIA)
Education and physical exercise
Group visit of the airport
Training future professional pilots to be proficient in night flights or security procedures.

AV’AIRon Club

The « Av’AIRon club » flying club was created on December 8, 2008 by a handful of young pilots and three professional instructors, well-known in the world of general aviation.

We own 2 Cessna aircrafts. One Cessna 150 for the pilot school (which trained 5 new pilots in 2011) and one new-generation Cessna 172, equipped with autopilot, a rare feat in a so-called “provincial” flying club.
