Renew your Single Engine Piston/Power Class Rating with E-Flight Academy.
Please note: the price shown is for an assessment, not the full renewal.A renewal is competency based — how much training you need varies greatly from person to person, so we do not attach a package price to it in advance. You start with an assessment; after that, you receive a personal training plan with a tailor-made quote.
Who is it for?
Have you ever held a SEP class rating, but it has expired? Then we can renew it with refresher training and a proficiency check with an examiner — the full training is not required. Have you never held a SEP rating before? Then by law you need the full training with a skill test: please see the SEP Rating. You need a valid license (LAPL, PPL or higher) and a medical certificate of at least class 2.
What is the assessment?
You do the assessment in the aircraft of your choice: the fully electric Pipistrel Velis Electro, the Pipistrel Virus Explorer or the Bristell B23. It includes:
- One flying lesson (a half-day slot of 2 hours, with 45 minutes of flight time on the Velis or 1 hour on the Explorer/Bristell) including an extensive pre- and post-flight briefing, in which your instructor assesses your flying skills and theoretical knowledge
- 3 landings, including landing fees
- One hour with your instructor for the debrief and to draw up your personal training plan
Immediately after the assessment, you will know where you stand: you will receive a training plan with a tailor-made quote for the next step. If you have flown recently and are already at the required level, the plan may also be very short and we will schedule the proficiency check right away.
What comes after the assessment? (based on post-calculation)
- Follow-up lessons according to your training plan, until you are at exam level
- Landing fees
- Aircraft rental for the proficiency check: 1 hour — 1 flight on the Explorer/Bristell, or 2 flights on the Velis (the check does not fit within one battery charge). You do not schedule the proficiency check yourself: as soon as you are ready, we will arrange an appointment together with you and the examiner.
- The examiner's fees — expect around €250; this amount is variable because examiners set their own rates
- Any theory refreshers, tailored to what you need (billed separately)
What about the theory?
Theory is also covered during the briefings, and your instructor will check before the proficiency check whether your knowledge is up to standard. During the check, the examiner will test the theory orally. Are you flying the Velis and do you have no experience with electric flying yet? Then the online Pipistrel course (CBT) is part of your program; it will be billed separately.
Good to know
- A SEP class rating applies to the aircraft type on which you do the check: if you choose electric, you may not simply fly a fuel-powered model afterwards, and vice versa. If you want both, we recommend validating the rating on the fuel-powered model first and then doing the E-conversion to the Velis — no exam is required for that.
- Is your rating still valid but nearing its expiry date? Then it is not a renewal but a revalidation — often a training flight or a proficiency check is enough. Contact us, and we will see what applies in your situation.
- You are responsible for submitting the license amendment request to KIWA. We will help you get started.
Arrange date and time
You can book your assessment directly by selecting "choose date and time" on this page. Do not know the dates yet? No problem — with the account you create when placing your order on eflight.nl, you can also schedule your lesson yourself later via my.eflight.nl.
Flying on weekends
That is possible, we are open every day. Please note that the airport charges higher landing fees from early April through late September. If you fly during that period at the weekend, choose the "Peak hours high season" option.
