Open Day — 50 years of the school

Saturday 26 September 2026, from 10 am to 5 pm, at Brussels South Charleroi Airport. Free entry.

Founded in 1976 at Gosselies by Berty Graux, the school has trained private and professional pilots for fifty years. To mark this anniversary, we are opening our doors to anyone who would like to discover the school, its facilities and its people.

The day is intended for candidate pilots and their families, former students and aviation enthusiasts alike. Instructors and management are present throughout the day to answer your questions: programmes, flight scheduling, financing, career prospects.

On the programme

  • Tour of the facilities: classrooms, the Berty Graux auditorium, the operations room.
  • Aircraft from the fleet on static display — Sonaca 200, Diamond DA40 and DA42, depending on the day’s activity.
  • Both Alsim AL42 FNPT II simulators in demonstration.
  • Instructors, management and students available to discuss the courses and how they are run.
