LV Mönchsheide

LV Mönchsheide is based at the Mönchsheide airfield near Bad Breisig in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The club says the field is about 20 km south of Bonn and lies above Bad Breisig, between Sinzig and Bad Breisig. The home airfield is Mönchsheide (ICAO code not stated on the source pages).

LV Mönchsheide offers training for glider pilot licenses and ultralight pilot licenses. Glider training starts at age 14, with the license possible at 16, and includes dual instruction, winch launch, and towing tows for further flying skills. Ultralight training is done on club aircraft, starts at age 16, and the license can be obtained at 17 after at least 30 flight hours and the required theory.

The club does not publish a full training price list on the pages reviewed. It says costs are kept relatively low because it is a non-profit club and many duties are done voluntarily, and it notes that you should contact the club directly for current membership and training fees. In Germany, club-based glider and ultralight training is often cheaper than commercial flight schools, but exact pricing at LV Mönchsheide is not stated.

Yes. LV Mönchsheide is a flying club, not a commercial flight school. The club emphasizes volunteer-run operations and community flying, with members handling many operational and maintenance tasks themselves.

For ultralight training, LV Mönchsheide uses its club FK 9 ELA as the primary training and tow aircraft. Advanced ultralight students also train on a Breezer. For gliding, the club mentions aircraft such as the Duo Discus for advanced instruction and performance flying.
