Be a pilot for a day at the BTU pupils university

Interested young people from the seventh to tenth grades experience what it is like to pilot an aeroplane. They learn to read maps and find their way into the air. They navigate like real pilots, create their own flight plan, plan their route and make preparations for take-off. Finally, they take off and fly their route in a realistic flight simulator.

The Newton Flight Academy Brandenburg, which opened on 1 July 2024 and is unique in the European Union, makes this possible, although the number of participants is limited.
Please register for this or another excursion date by e-mail at schueleruni(at)b-tu.de.
