DGAC & EASA Part-FCL
France trains more pilots than any other continental European country. From the ENAC state academy system to hundreds of aéro-clubs and private ATOs scattered across the Hexagone, the training market is vast but administratively demanding. DGAC oversight adds French-specific procedures on top of EASA regulations — and the airspace around Paris is among Europe's most complex for training operations.
Running a flight school under DGAC France regulations means juggling training records, instructor qualifications, aircraft maintenance schedules, and student progress — all while making sure every document is audit-ready. Most schools still rely on spreadsheets and paper files. There's a better way.
Aviatize is the operating system for flight schools — a single platform where scheduling, training management, billing, maintenance tracking, and DGAC France compliance all come together. No more chasing missing documents or scrambling before an audit.
DGAC France Regulations
Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile defines the rules for flight training in France. Here are the key frameworks that Aviatize helps you navigate — not just comply with, but actually use to run a tighter, more efficient operation.
Pilot licensing under EASA Part-FCL as implemented in France by the DGAC, covering LAPL, PPL, CPL, IR, and ATPL pathways with French-language theoretical examination requirements.
ATO approval and compliance management under EASA Part-ORA as overseen by the DGAC's DSAC (Direction de la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile) regional directorates.
DTO declaration management for aéro-clubs and small schools delivering LAPL and PPL training under lighter regulatory requirements.
Maintenance tracking under Part-M and the lighter Part-ML regime for ELA1/ELA2 aircraft commonly used by French training organisations.
Integration with FFA standards for aéro-clubs affiliated with France's national aero federation, including competition pilots and leisure aviation.
Training operations planning within France's complex airspace structure, including restricted zones around military bases, Paris CDG/Orly approach corridors, and seasonal TRA/TSA activations.
