You will receive an internationally recognized license (EASA PPL) that allows you to fly on exactly the same aircraft as with a PPL license from any other school. This is possible because we teach a number of hours of the course (8 hours) on a single-engine piston aircraft (piston engine). This is necessary for the mandatory longer flights and navigation components of the training. The advantage is that after training with us you will obtain both the single-engine piston class and the endorsement in your logbook that also allows you to fly electrically on the Velis. Read all about our courses.

Yes, but not all of them. We operate seven aircraft, five of which are fully electric. These are certified aircraft of the Light Sport Aircraft (CS-LSA) type. The endurance (time in the air) of these aircraft is a maximum of 50 minutes. You then land with at least 10 minutes of battery reserve. The majority of a flight training course can be flown with these. For the longer cross-country flights we use a Pipistrel Virus SW 121. This is exactly the same aircraft as our electric Velis, only with an efficient but conventional engine. For this aircraft we, of course, offset all emissions with the help of Just Diggit. In 2023 we hope to have newer aircraft, making this unnecessary as well.

All courses can be given in English. Your English level should off course be sufficient for that. High school certificate is fine. There’s no EASA specification on entry levels for the PPL course.

The Language Proficiency Exam (LPE) is mandatory before the PPL exam however we suggest you do most of this (theorie, radio telephony, medical and LPE) as soon as possible.

Absolutely! That's what these products are for. Even after your assessment you purchase your lessons in blocks of six and you decide yourself whether to continue or not. When you also start your theory, it's wise to decide for yourself whether you want to follow the entire course, as you'll be investing quite a bit of time in it.

A student may fly solo at 16 and obtain a certificate at 17. However, there is no minimum age for lessons. For all lessons before your first solo flight you can therefore even be younger than 16.

Yes, that is possible!

We always recommend taking a PPL course. The main reason is that you become a better pilot from the PPL training. You log more hours, do more exercises, and the exam is more demanding. In addition, with a PPL after your training you can do more than with a LAPL. For example, fly outside Europe or take follow-up courses. All of this is somewhat more difficult with a LAPL. Due to lack of interest and the reasons above, we currently do not offer the LAPL.

Usually within a week! The first step is to book your flight or training with us. This can be done easily on the website. Here you specify the month you want to start so we can get a clear view for our planning. If needed, we can tell you whether there is availability before you order. We will quickly send you a message with an overview of possible dates on which you can schedule your flights.

Yes. This is possible. If you are not satisfied with us, it is possible to transfer the hours you have logged to another flight school. Each flight school will handle this slightly differently. We will, of course, help you work this out. In most cases you can take a substantial number, or all, of your hours with you.

The reverse is also true. If you want to continue a training you have already started with us, call or email us, and we will find out what is possible in your case.

Almost everyone starts with a trial lesson. This is a full lesson including briefing, flying yourself and a good amount of time in the air. Really already a great experience (according to our customers, of course). After that, for the PPL there is an assessment of 5 lessons (6 including the trial lesson). If you continue after that, the next set of lessons follows. And so on. So you don't pay for the course all at once. You decide the pace, whether you want to take a break or stop completely. As long as you enjoy it and think it's worth the money, you keep flying. If not, you don't.

Both are possible! We load both aircraft and cars. You can simply place your aircraft on our E-Deck platform. Just make sure you pay your landing fees to the harbormaster yourself.

Or: Can I claim the costs as study expenses?

With a PPL you may not perform commercial activities. Therefore, in most cases you may not list the training as business expenses. The tax authority's website states: “The training or study is aimed at your profession or future profession.” If you continue after your Private Pilot License to pursue a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) or an Instructor Rating you can try, however our advice: thoroughly investigate it, consult with an accountant or tax advisor, or ask the tax authority directly.

Check the oil? Warm up for 10 minutes? Not necessary. With four switches the prop starts quietly and you taxi to the runway. After that you immediately have full power available. And then you fly. Yes. Electric flying is a bit different. But not worlds apart.
