SKELLEFTEÅ! Have you spotted our aircraft in the e SKELLEFTEÅ! Have you spotted our aircraft in the evening sky lately? 
Over the past few weeks, our future airline pilots have been practising night flying – an important part of their commercial pilot training.
During night VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations, pilots navigate using visual references on the ground. However, darkness changes the flying environment. Roads, buildings and illuminated landmarks become important navigation references, while judging distance, altitude and surrounding terrain becomes more challenging.

Our students practise navigating, maintaining visual orientation, and performing safe take-offs and landings after dark.

Did you know you can tell which way an aircraft is facing by looking at its navigation lights?

🟢 Green light – right wing
🔴 Red light – left wing
⚪ White light – visible from behind

These lights help other pilots identify an aircraft’s orientation and position in the sky.

And if our students are lucky, their night flights might come with an extra special view – the Northern Lights dancing across the sky above Skellefteå! 💚✨

Shaped by Nordic Conditions.
Every season brings new opportunities to learn. ✈️ Every season brings new opportunities to learn. ✈️❄️

Training in northern Sweden means experiencing aviation in all four seasons.

From bright summer days to snowy winter conditions, our students develop their skills in an environment where preparation, adaptability and sound decision-making are essential.

As we move into the winter season, the focus shifts towards more ATPL theory, while practical flight training continues whenever conditions allow.

Because becoming a professional pilot is about more than learning to fly. It’s about understanding the conditions, making informed decisions and knowing when to take off – and when not to.

Green Flight Academy – Shaped by Nordic conditions.

🍁Autumn is here, and ATPL theory is just around th 🍁Autumn is here, and ATPL theory is just around the corner 📖

Our new class, who started in August, has now completed Phase 1, focusing on basic theory and the basics of flying, with plenty of hands-on experience in our electric aircraft.

Getting students into the air early is a key part of our training philosophy at Green Flight Academy. By connecting theory with practical experience from the very beginning, we help students develop a deeper understanding of what they learn in the classroom. And of course, flying early keeps motivation high and makes the journey even more exciting 🛩️

As we head into the autumn, we’re proud of our students and all they’ve accomplished so far. In these photos, you can see a few of them carrying out their pre-flight inspections.

We’re looking forward to an exciting autumn, a ATPL theory phase, and hopefully a beautiful white winter ahead ❄️

Training Philosophy At Green Flight Academy, we be Training Philosophy
At Green Flight Academy, we believe in a truly integrated approach to pilot training, where theory and flight training develop together from day one.
Students begin with basic theory and VFR flying, allowing them to immediately connect classroom knowledge with practical experience. As training progresses, the balance between theory and flying changes with the seasons.

Summer is focused on flying, taking advantage of Skellefteå’s long daylight hours and favourable conditions. Students develop their practical skills through solo flying, cross-country navigation, VFR operations and Advanced UPRT.

During autumn and winter, the focus shifts towards intensive theory, complemented by night flying and experience in real Nordic winter conditions.

This seasonal structure creates a natural progression throughout the programme, combining academic knowledge, practical skills and real-world operational experience. Our goal is to develop confident, adaptable and professional pilots, prepared for a career in commercial aviation.
