Be a pilot
With the slogan "Be a pilot," we are showing young people how they can take off in aviation, together with Pilotenausbildung.net, in the West Foyer. Aspiring pilots can try out theory and practice at flight schools and universities or learn about career opportunities.

Avionics Avenue
An overview of all innovations for the highest workplace in the world is provided by the Avionics Avenue. In addition to a headset test area and a Garmin presentation room, systems for flight control, radar, management, and communication are key components of the exhibition.

Flight Simulator Area
Anyone who has never been in the cockpit can experience the sensation of takeoff and get a first impression of the pilot profession in the Flight Simulator Area. Experienced pilots can further develop their skills in certified simulators and safely operate other aircraft – almost every model is available.

Engine Area
Together with our media partner fliegermagazin, the Engine Area presents a wide range of different systems, from traditional engines to future propulsion technologies. Training events on engine technology will also be part of the AERO Conferences.

aerokurier Maintenance Area
The AERO as the most important exhibition for General Aviation in Europe combines air sport like gliders and microlights, classic light planes like Cessna and co. as well as business aviation and helicopter operations. And as different as the sectors may be, what they all have in common is that they cannot take off without professional maintenance.
The aerokurier Maintenance Area brings some of the work that usually takes place behind hangar doors onto the stage in order to shine a spotlight on it. Whether converting from avgas to jet fuel engines, maintenance on turboprop engines, tips on tuning and ergonomics or presentations on the legal framework for aviation maintenance - renowned experts will be giving talks on stage and providing insights into the world of maintenance, repair and overhaul.
