Ausserschwyzer Fluggemeinschaft Wangen

The Ausserschwyzer Fluggemeinschaft Wangen operates at Flugplatz Wangen-Lachen, nestled by the upper Zurich Lake and surrounded by the Alps, with a short 500-meter paved runway. This location offers a unique alpine flying environment where flying conditions are often favorable even when lowlands are foggy, thanks to the pre-alpine climate. The flight school provides extensive pilot training programs ranging from Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL) and Private Pilot License (PPL) to advanced courses like Commercial Pilot License (CPL), instrument ratings including Competency-Based IR, night flying, mountain and glacier training, and flight instructor certifications. Theory courses and radio communication (voice) training are available, including distance learning. The modern fleet includes Cessna 152, several Piper PA-28 variants, Mooney M20J with retractable landing gear, and Bristell B23-912iS, all maintained to high standards. Students can reserve aircraft online and enjoy a hands-on approach to learning with a variety of aircraft types primarily in the single-engine piston category. The facility serves recreational and professional pilots looking for alpine and international flight experiences. Besides being a flight school, it also operates as a flying club focused on education without selling equipment or offering separate radio communication training.
