Frequently asked questions about flying lessons in Teuge
How old do I need to be for a flying lesson?
There is no minimum age for a trial lesson — children can also join under supervision. To start flight training (solo flying), you must be at least 16 years old. You receive your pilot's license at 17.
Do I need a medical exam?
Not for a trial lesson. For flight training, you need an aviation medical certificate (Class 2 Medical). This is a simple exam by an approved aviation medical examiner.
What happens in bad weather?
Safety comes first. If the weather is not suitable for flying, we will contact you in time to schedule a new time. Your flying lesson will be rescheduled free of charge.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes! The Velis Electro is a two-seater, but your friends and family are welcome to attend your briefing and debriefing. They can watch your takeoff and landing from our terrace at E-Deck.
Is a trial lesson a good gift?
Absolutely! Giving a flying lesson as a gift is one of the most special gifts you can give. After your order, you will receive a gift voucher that you can print or send digitally.
How long does it take to get a pilot's license?
That depends on how often you fly. Most students earn their PPL in 9 to 18 months, with an average of one lesson per week. At E-Flight Academy, you set your own pace.
What is the difference with a sightseeing flight?
On a sightseeing flight, you sit as a passenger in the aircraft. During a flying lesson, you control the aircraft yourself under the guidance of an instructor. You learn the basics of flying and have the control stick in your hands.
Does a trial lesson count toward my pilot's license?
Yes! Because E-Flight Academy is an approved ATO (Approved Training Organisation), the flight hours from your trial lesson count toward your PPL training. That's not the case at every flight school.
Can I also become a commercial pilot at E-Flight Academy?
Yes! Through our modular ATPL route, you can step by step progress from PPL to CPL and eventually to your ATPL — the license you need to fly for an airline.
