What will happen?

After arrival at E-Flight, the lucky recipient will receive a briefing and an explanation of the electric aircraft. He or she will learn about the technology, flight characteristics, and controls. We then taxi to the runway and take off to stay in the air for about 40 minutes. Really flying yourself, of course with an experienced instructor! In the air, we will climb, descend, and turn. After landing, we drive back to the hangar and there is a debriefing. In total, the lesson lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.

Enjoying the scenery

The Netherlands from the air is beautiful. We depart from Teuge Airport in Gelderland. There is a wide choice of views: Paleis 't Loo, the Julianatoren, Berg en Bos, the Apenheul, the meanders of the IJssel, the Veluwezoom, various castles, the National Park De Veluwe and the Veluwemeer, or the Grebbeberg. So the recipient also learns how to navigate in the air during this lesson.

After the lesson

And what if he or she is really enthusiastic? Then we can arrange to start a flying course. We often begin with a package of six lessons. The trial lesson already counts as the first lesson!

Good to know

  • If you weigh more than 95 kilos (including clothes, shoes, and any camera), or are taller than 1.95 m, please give us a call. With a maximum takeoff weight of 600 kilos, there are restrictions.
  • This trial lesson includes fuel electricity and the cost of 1 landing. 
  • If you are an experienced pilot, you may want to land more often or try a touch-and-go. That’s no problem, but we will then charge the additional landing fees as well.

Arrange a date and time

As soon as you have paid for the trial lesson, we will send you the information. Of course, the weather may be poor and we may need to reschedule the trial lesson. We always let you know as soon as possible. You can read more in our terms and conditions.

A trial lesson on the weekend

Yes, we are open every day. Please note that the airport applies higher landing fees for all flights from early April to late September. That is why the trial lesson is more expensive during this period if you want to take the lesson on the weekend.

Where and when?

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.
