This page covers aero clubs in Italy that post their own aircraft rental and school-flight rates. Italian aero clubs are mostly member-run, many rates are for members only, and annual dues can be high, so read the notes under each club. Rates are shown in euros first, the way the club lists them, with an estimated US dollar figure beside each one. We list a school's rates when its own current public page or rate sheet shows them. Where the school prints a date we show it, and where it does not, the card says "Not listed by the school" beside the date we checked the page. We leave out prices the school marks as old or expired, pages that contradict themselves, and prices dated more than 24 months ago. Pilot licences in Italy follow European (EASA) rules. Check with the club before you plan a trip.
How to read this page
Prices are in euros (€) first. The schools write the euro sign (€) on their pages, and we read it as euros (EUR), the currency of Italy. Figures with a public source link to it and show the date we checked. Where a school does not say something, the page says "Not listed by the school". Where we could not find a reliable source, it says "Unverified. We couldn't confirm a reliable source for this yet."
4 schools and clubs across 3 regions (Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto). Prices change often, and some clubs charge membership, landing or fuel costs on top, so check with the school first.

Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC) basics
These points are in our own words from Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC)'s public pages, which are the official word. Requirements vary, so confirm the details with Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (ENAC) and with the school before you plan training or a rental.
- Who issues licences. EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, sets common pilot licensing rules (Part-FCL) but does not issue licences itself; in Italy the national authority does. EASA says you can get a licence in any EASA member state, whatever your nationality.Source: EASA: Licensing for General Aviation (page shows no date) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
- LAPL and PPL (aeroplane). EASA's general aviation licensing page describes two private licences. The Light Aircraft Pilot Licence, LAPL(A), is valid in Europe only, for non-commercial VFR flying in single-engine piston aeroplanes up to 2,000 kg with up to four people on board; it needs at least an LAPL medical. The Private Pilot Licence, PPL(A), can also be used outside the EU, is non-commercial, and is VFR unless you add an instrument rating; it needs at least a class 2 medical. EASA lists about 100 hours of theory for both, and at least 30 hours of flight instruction for the LAPL(A) and 45 hours for the PPL(A). LAPL(A) holders get credit toward a PPL(A). Pilots with a non-EU ICAO licence can convert it under set conditions, including exams, a skill test and a European medical.Source: EASA: Licensing for General Aviation (page shows no date) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
- Commercial pilot licence (CPL). EASA's rules say a CPL applicant must be at least 18, complete theory and flight instruction at an approved training organisation (ATO), and pass theory exams and a skill test. A CPL lets you fly as pilot in command of single-pilot aircraft in commercial operations, with some limits, and as co-pilot.Source: EASA: Easy Access Rules for Aircrew, Part-FCL (revision from August 2023) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
- Medical certificates. EASA's medical rules (Part-MED) link medicals to licences: at least an LAPL medical for the LAPL, at least class 2 for the PPL, and class 1 for the CPL and airline licences. A student pilot may not fly solo without the medical needed for the licence. A class 1 medical is valid for 12 months (6 months from age 60, or from age 40 for single-pilot commercial passenger flying). A class 2 medical is valid for 60 months until age 40, 24 months until age 50, then 12 months. You can renew up to 45 days before expiry.Source: EASA: Easy Access Rules for Aircrew, Part-MED (revision from August 2023) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
- Where to take a medical. EASA's medical FAQs say a first class 1 medical can only be done at an aeromedical centre (AeMC), while class 2 and LAPL medicals can be done at an AeMC or by an aeromedical examiner (AME). A medical issued in any EASA member state is recognised in all of them.Source: EASA: Medical FAQs (page shows no date) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
- Applying for a licence in Italy. ENAC says that after the skill test you apply for an LAPL or PPL by sending the documents as one PDF by certified email (PEC), naming the airport office where you will collect the licence. The list includes a valid class 2 medical (or an LAPL medical for an LAPL), the theory exam pass, the skill test report, your logbook, and a €283 fee, which includes stamp duty.Source: ENAC: Documents for an LAPL or PPL (last updated November 5, 2025) ↗ · checked Oct 29, 2026
