Aeroclub Saarlouis e.V.

Aeroclub Saarlouis e.V. is a nonprofit flying club based at Saarlouis-Düren airfield (ICAO: EDRJ), operating since 1978 with a focus on promoting affordable and accessible flight opportunities. The club operates the Aquila A210, a 2-seat Very Light Aircraft (VLA) built by Aquila Aviation, equipped with a fuel-efficient Rotax engine allowing for cost-effective training and flying. The aircraft is recognized for its good handling, generous cockpit space, and reliability, making it ideal for club use. Training programs include the comprehensive Private Pilot License (PPL)(A) enabling worldwide flying with piston-engine single-engine landplanes and the lighter Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL)(A), which is a European license for flying up to 4-seat aircraft within the EU. The club emphasizes safety and practical pilot education, with training conducted by experienced instructors. The club operates mostly on a voluntary basis without mandatory work hours, fostering a community environment. The Aquila A210 has been the club's aircraft since 2012, accruing substantial operational hours and proving to be a robust choice for club activities.

Contact for club matters is Werner Kasper (1st Chairman) at Ziegelhütter Weg 2, 66265 Heusweiler. The club is a point of contact for aspiring pilots seeking solid and practical flight training.
