The Pipistrel Virus SW 121A Explorer is a fun, fast two-seater that we use in training for 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 from 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 is based on the minutes shown on the Hobbs meter. If the flight duration is much longer than 60 minutes, we charge per minute extra afterwards. The minimum rental time is 60 minutes.
This rate includes
- VAT
- Fuel
- Maximum two circuit landings or one cross-country
- CO2 compensation in partnership 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 airfield (Teuge) and as long as E-Flight personnel 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 margin of half an hour before and after the slot. If you want to fly for multiple hours, simply book the connecting slots or call/text 055 203 2230 and we'll help you out.
If there's nothing suitable available, you can coordinate with us by phone.
Day trips, weekend trips or more
If you want to go away longer with our aircraft, for example to Texel for lunch, or somewhere for a weekend, this is only possible if no lessons are booked for the aircraft. In addition to the costs for flight time, you also pay a fee if you keep the aircraft on the ground somewhere for longer than an hour. We settle this afterwards. You only pay for the hours on the ground during opening hours (because then we can't use the aircraft ourselves).
Conditions
To take our aircraft out, you must meet a number of conditions.
- You hold a valid Single Engine Piston rating and have successfully flown a check-out flight with one of our instructors before you come to rent for the first time.
- We ask you to read and sign our rental agreement and safety declaration carefully. You should have done this directly following your training if all went well. Upload this signed document to your Wings before you go to rent.
- You have made at least 1 flight with our Explorer and at least 3 landings in the past 60 days. If not, you will need to make a flight with an instructor again. See https://www.eflight.nl/products/30-minute-check-out
- You naturally have a valid license and valid medical certificate
Flying on weekends
That's possible, we're open every day. Please note that Teuge airfield charges higher landing fees for all flights from early April to the end of September. Therefore the rental price is higher during this period on weekends.
