This activity is organised by Aeroclub Albania with support from Federata Aeronautike e Kosoves. It is tailored for local pilots (fulfilling the requirements as per the APPI system), but all international pilots (fulfilling the course requirements) are welcome as well.

There are two main goals:

• To present the latest knowledge elaborated by the cosmopolitan pool of APPI master instructors.
• To deliver the APPI certification corresponding to the pilot’s level, according to APPI standards.
