The Pipistrel Virus SW 121A Explorer is a fun, fast two-seater that we use in training for long navigation flights. The Explorer is the most fuel-efficient high-speed cruiser and certainly the fastest high-wing aircraft in its category. The aircraft is made of ultra-modern composite materials, lightweight, robust and has an unprecedented useful load capacity of more than 300 kg (660 lbs).
How does it work?
The rental of the Pipistrel Virus SW 121A Explorer costs €255 per hour. An hour is 60 minutes, which are the minutes shown on the Hobbs meter. If the flight duration differs significantly, we will charge (or refund) €4.25 per minute afterward.
This rate includes
- VAT
- Fuel
- Maximum of two local landings or one outbound landing
- CO2 compensation in collaboration with TreeByTree
On which days and times can I rent your aircraft?
This depends on our lesson schedule. In principle, booking earlier means more flexibility. Flying is possible within the opening hours of the airport (Teuge) and as long as E-Flight staff are present in the building for supervision.
You can see the available dates and times when you select "Choose date and time" on this page. You will see slots of one hour with a half-hour buffer before and after the slot. If you want to fly multiple hours, simply book consecutive slots or call 055 203 2230 and we'll help you arrange it.
If there's nothing suitable, you can coordinate with us by phone to find what works best for you.
If you want to take our aircraft away for longer, for example half a day or longer, this is only possible when we don't need the aircraft ourselves. If you want to stay away for several days, we also charge a daily rental fee. Please contact us for this.
