Ausserschwyzer Fluggemeinschaft Wangen

The Ausserschwyzer Fluggemeinschaft Wangen operates the Flugplatz Wangen-Lachen, a unique airfield with a short paved 500m runway situated by the upper Lake Zurich and surrounded by the Alps. The favorable pre-alpine climate often provides good flying conditions even when the lowlands are foggy, making it ideal for alpine and cross-country training flights. The flight school offers comprehensive pilot training programs from Light Aircraft Pilot License (LAPL) and Private Pilot License (PPL) through to advanced ratings including instrument flying (IR), competency-based instrument rating (CBIR), night flying (Night VFR), and professional Commercial Pilot License (CPL). Their diverse fleet includes popular single-engine piston aircraft such as Cessna 152, multiple Piper PA-28 variants, Mooney M20J, and Bristell B23-912iS, maintained to high standards. Training also covers theory instruction, language proficiency tests, and flight instructor courses. The club caters well for student pilots seeking a broad range of flight experiences and professional development in picturesque alpine surroundings, also offering aircraft rental and scenic flights.
