Where would you like to fly from?
Online scheduling isn't available for Lelystad yet. Contact us at planning@eflight.nl and we'll schedule your flight from Lelystad together.

You have taken a trial lesson with us and you want to follow the entire conversion training.

Good to hear that you are continuing! This product is the same as the E-Conversion but with a deduction of your first trial lesson. You will also gain access to the E-Learning environment. After you have absorbed the theory, we will be flying again soon. After your trial lesson, it will be three flights with an instructor and one solo flight.

What exactly is going on with that conversion?

A PPL license has always stated that one can fly with a single-engine piston (reciprocating engine). Since last year, it is also possible to obtain a class rating for electric propulsion. After successfully completing the training, the endorsement is immediately added by the instructor in your logbook. From then on, you can fly solo on the Velis. Our aircraft can also be rented. More about this soon on our site.

Theory

The theory consists of an E-learning training with a short test. Expect about 10 hours of study. We will send the details well in advance so you can start the self-study. We assume that you have completed the theory before you start the lessons. 

Good to know

  • For an E-Conversion, you already need a valid PPL or LAPL license. A higher license such as CPL or ATPL is also acceptable.
  • You must have a medical certificate of at least class 2.
  • Please note that the MTOW (Maximum Take-Off Weight) of the Pipistrel Velis Electro is 600 kilograms. The pilot and passenger (or instructor and student) together must not weigh more than 180 kilograms. That is an average of 90 kilograms per occupant. Including clothing and other materials that are taken on board. 
  • The E-Conversion includes 10 landings. If you create more than 10 landings, this will be invoiced through post-calculation.

Date and time to schedule

You can choose your dates and times directly when placing your order. You can also do this later. We will then send you the information and all possible dates on which you can schedule the lessons. Of course, it may happen that the weather is unfavorable and we have to reschedule the trial lesson. We will always inform you as soon as possible.

It is possibly possible to complete the entire training in one day. If you would like this, please indicate it in the comments. 

Taking lessons on the weekend

That is possible, we are open every day. Please keep in mind that the airport charges higher landing fees for all flights from early April to late September. Therefore, this training is more expensive during this period if you want to take lessons on the weekend.

I always had this little desire to "fly a plane". We don't have this opportunity in India (unless you sign up for the full license training etc). Last week, when I visited Netherlands, my son recommended E-Flight academy. I had booked the class for the day I arrived. However the weather was not good and the school rescheduled it to another day. We drove down from Amsterdam and were greeted by the trainer. Warm welcome, coffee, and explained about the aircraft, the controls and other aspects. I got into the plane and was guided superbly by the trainer - to the extent that I could do most of the actions - taxi, takeoff, some of the maneuvering (stall, 360 turn, go up down, fly along the river etc). Landing was done by the trainer and followed by a debrief. Personally, a superb experience - the school, the staff who managed the appointment, the trainer and the actual flying !

I fly as an instructor on the same type of electric plane back home in Norway, so when I visited the area I just had to do a quick flight with E-Flight. This school is nothing other than impressive. The details put the dot over the i. They even have their own solar panels on the roof. Both the instructor and the rest of the staff are super welcoming and friendly, and skilled. The Velis Electro is an awesome airplane, quiet and comfortable - and E-Flights instructors make this into a great experience. Highly recommended! Thank you for being awesome, and thank you for helping bring electric aviation to the World, E-Flight!

My son (16) flew (himself!) with a seasoned E-Flight Academy instructor and could not stop talking about it on the way back home. Don't think this is just a fun attraction though, they are serious about flying. And take you serious. Even in this introductionary flight he got to learn a lot about the procedures, the plane, the avionics. And of course it is also great fun! It was a wonderful afternoon. And since it was an electric flight and E-flight Academy creates their own solar energy it was silent and clean! Thank you so much, we wish you many successes in pioneering the future of flight!

I did a trial lesson here and it was an amazing experience! The aircraft are brand new, the instructor was great and I could control the aircraft for most of the flight, doing some really interesting manoeuvres. It was also a good opportunity to learn more about electric aircraft.

Last Thursday I went flying at E-flight academy in Teuge to try out a class on the Pipistrel velis electro, I was really looking forward to flying an electric plane as its something new and innovative. The instructor was very friendly and gave a great explanation of the basics. While in the air the instructor still demonstrated some manoeuvres such as a stall and sharp turns. When it was my turn to fly I made some turns and went flying around the clouds, it was great! Overall I would say give it a try, flying electric is also a lot quieter.
