A full lesson

The trial lesson at E-Flight is a full flight lesson. After arriving at Airport Teuge you receive a briefing and an explanation of the aircraft. You learn about the technology, flight characteristics and controls. We taxi to the runway and take off to remain in the air for 35 to 40 minutes. You learn to climb, descend and turn. After landing we taxi back to the hangar and you receive a full debriefing. The lesson lasts 2 hours in total.

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.

André Kuipers

The astronaut visited E-Flight Academy for his program: De nieuwe missie van André Kuipers on NPO 1. André has his pilot's license and therefore flew the entire trial lesson himself — and landed it neatly.

Harm hadn't flown for three years on principle, and then he was in our electric Pipistrel for the 2022nd take-off. Completely thrilled.

Klaas can do anything

Klaas investigated in his mission whether you can photograph 140 hectares of land around Paleis het Loo without using fuel!

Good to know

Please note

  • Heavier than 95 kilos, please let us know! Because we fly a light aircraft, the maximum combined weight of aircraft and passengers is 600 kg.
  • This trial lesson includes electricity, one landing and fees. Basically everything.
  • Only two people fit in the aircraft, so no friends in the back unfortunately. You can bring people to watch or book multiple trial lessons at the same time.

The surroundings!

The Netherlands from the air is beautiful. From the airport there is a wide choice of views. How about the beautiful Deventer, 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? You will also learn to navigate toward these jewels in this lesson.

After the lesson

Did you love it and want more? Then you might consider taking a Private Pilot License (PPL) course with us. We start with an assessment of about six lessons. You'll already have completed the first one with this trial lesson! This also applies if you want to take another course with us, such as the E-Conversion.
