The price is based on the minimum required hours and landings for PPL training. We've calculated all costs transparently: aircraft rental, instructor fees, landing fees, and fuel/electricity. We believe in honest pricing without hidden costs.

For this amount you get: 45 flight hours (minimum required for PPL), 155 landings, all instructor costs, landing fees at Teuge, and fuel/electricity. Everything you need to complete your PPL practical training.

Not included are: theory course and exams, medical certificate, English language proficiency test (LPE), landing fees at other airports during navigation flights, and any additional hours if you need more than 45 hours.

You don't have to pay everything at once. You buy lessons in blocks of 6. This way you can spread the costs and decide after each block whether you want to continue. This keeps it flexible and manageable.

Yes, landing fees at Teuge are included in our lesson prices. Only for navigation flights to other airports, you pay the landing fees at those airports yourself.

Yes, all energy costs are included. Whether you fly electric or conventional, fuel and electricity are included in the lesson price.

Yes, all dual flight lessons include the instructor. You only fly solo when you're ready for it, and those hours don't require an instructor in the aircraft.

Additional hours are charged at the regular hourly rate. We'll always discuss this with you in advance and keep you informed of your progress so there are no surprises.

Additional landings are included in any additional flight hours you may need. We don't charge separately per landing.

Block time is from engine start to engine stop, including taxi time. We charge by flight time (Hobbs time), which is the actual time with the engine running. This is fairer as you pay for actual flying, not waiting on the ground.

Yes, you can book additional theory guidance if needed. Contact us for current rates. We also offer 5-day theory intensive courses where you work through the material with a trainer.

Currently, our prices are comparable to conventional flight schools. Electric aircraft have lower fuel costs but higher initial investment. As technology develops, electric flying is expected to become more cost-effective. Plus, you're investing in sustainable aviation!

Most of your training will be on the Pipistrel Velis Electro, our electric aircraft. For longer navigation flights and certain exercises, you'll fly the Pipistrel Virus SW 121, which has a conventional engine but identical handling characteristics.

The practical training price stays the same - it doesn’t include theory anyway. Having your theory done or in progress is actually great, as you can focus fully on the flying. Contact us and we'll discuss your personal situation.

A lesson includes briefing, the flight itself, and debriefing. A flight hour is the actual time in the air (engine running). So a 1-hour lesson typically includes about 45 minutes of actual flight time, plus ground instruction time.

All courses can be given in English. Your English level should of 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 (theory, radio telephony, medical and LPE) as soon as possible.

The more often you fly, the sooner you can take your exam. It's entirely up to you. At least, 4 or 5 flights per day is about the maximum. So theoretically, you could complete the 45 hours for your PPL in a few weeks. But your fellow students could also easily take a year or more. It's up to you! Some regularity does help you master it faster. Note: In addition to the practical lessons, you'll also need to pass your theory exams. You can do this before or during your training.

75 to 100 hours with the help of e-learning. On top of that, you can get 5 days of guidance from a trainer.

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

Usually within a week! The first step is to book your flight or training with us. This can easily be done on the website. You specify the month when you want to start so we have a good overview for our planning. If necessary, we can indicate before you order whether there's space. We'll quickly send you an overview of possible dates on which you can schedule your flights.

The E-Conversion is formally a so-called 'difference training' within the SEP class (Single-engine piston rating). This means four flights with an instructor (indeed, not 4 hours but 4 flights, expect 40-45 minutes per flight) and then a solo flight with three circuits. The flights are signed off in the logbook. That's sufficient for the regulations. If you want to know (much) more, you can find the regulations here.

You will receive an internationally recognized license (EASA PPL) that allows you to fly the exact same aircraft as with a PPL license from any other school. How is this possible? This is possible because we teach part of the training (8 hours) on a single-engine piston aircraft. This is required for the mandatory longer flights and navigation components of the training. What you get The advantage is that after training with us, you get both the single-engine piston class rating and the logbook endorsement that allows you to fly electric aircraft (TMG/SEP electric). So you can fly both conventional and electric aircraft with your license.

We always recommend doing a PPL training. The main reason is that you become a better pilot from PPL training. You make more hours, do more exercises, the exam is more difficult. Additionally, with PPL you can do more after your training than with a LAPL. For example, flying outside Europe or taking follow-up courses. This is all more difficult with a LAPL. Due to lack of interest and the reasons above, we currently do not offer the LAPL.

Yes, but there are some conditions. 1. You buy a trial lesson from us and indicate that you're interested in the E-conversion. 2. Before the trial lesson, you have thoroughly studied the entire POH (Pilot's Operating Handbook) of the Velis. 3. When you want to continue the conversion training, you get access to the Pipistrel Academy e-learning environment. We expect you to have completed the theory and passed the knowledge test before doing the second flight. After that, you fly 3 more dual flights and 1 solo. We deduct the cost of the trial lesson from the total conversion training cost.

Certainly! You can rent our aircraft here. Please note: You must first complete the conversion training (E-Rating) (4 dual flights and 1 solo flight, 8-10 hours of theory self-study). Once the conversion is complete, you can certainly rent our Velis.

Certainly! That's what these products are designed for. Even after your assessment, you buy your lessons in blocks of six and decide for yourself whether to continue or not. When you also start your theory, it is wise to decide for yourself whether you want to complete the entire training, because you'll be investing quite a bit of time in it.

To be allowed to fly, you must be able to speak and understand English at a reasonable level. English LPE 4 (Language Proficiency Endorsement level 4) is 'normal' English. The average Dutch person speaks English at this level.

Yes. This is possible. If you're not satisfied with us, it's possible to transfer your hours to another flight school. Each flight school handles this slightly differently. We'll of course help you figure this out. In most cases, you can take a significant number, or all hours, with you. The reverse also applies. If you want to continue your already started training with us, call or email us, and we'll figure out what's possible in your case.

Step by step 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 wonderful experience. After that comes an assessment of 5 lessons (6 including the trial lesson). If you continue after that, the next set of lessons follows. Etcetera. You set the pace So you don't pay for the training all at once. You determine the pace, whether you want a break or want to stop entirely. As long as there are unused lessons, you can schedule them. Refund policy And if for any reason you decide to stop, we refund any unused lessons minus transaction costs.
