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 economical high-speed cruiser and certainly the fastest high-wing aircraft in its category. The aircraft is made from state-of-the-art 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 time is much longer than 60 minutes, then we charge per extra minute afterwards. The minimum rental time is 60 minutes.
This rate includes:
- VAT
- Fuel
- One off-field landing at Teuge (multiple landings or overland landings are at your own expense and will be billed afterwards)
- CO2 compensation in cooperation with TreeByTree
On which days and times can I rent your aircraft?
This depends on our training schedule. In principle, booking earlier means more flexibility. Flying is possible within the airport opening hours (Teuge) and as long as E-Flight staff are present in the building for supervision.
You can see available dates and times when you select "Choose date and time" on this page. You will always see slots of één hour with a half-hour margin before and after the slot. If you want to fly for multiple hours, simply book the consecutive slots or call/WhatsApp 055 203 2230 and we will look with you.
If nothing suits you, you can coordinate with us by phone.
Day trips, weekend trips or longer
If you want to be away longer with our aircraft, for example to Texel for lunch, or a weekend away, that is only possible if no lessons are booked for the aircraft. In addition to the costs for flight time, you will then also pay a fee if you leave the aircraft on the ground somewhere for more than an hour. We settle this afterwards. You only pay for the hours on the ground during opening hours (because then we cannot use the aircraft ourselves).
Conditions
To go out with our aircraft you must meet a number of conditions.
- You must hold a valid Single Engine Piston rating and have successfully completed a check-out flight with one of our instructors before you rent for the first time.
- We ask you to read our rental agreement and safety declaration carefully and sign them. You should have done this immediately after your training. Upload this signed document to your Wings before you rent.
- You have made at least 1 flight with our Explorer in the past 60 days and at least 3 landings. If that is not the case, you will need to fly again with an instructor. See https://www.eflight.nl/products/30-minute-check-out
- You of course have a valid license and a valid medical certificate
Flying at the weekend
That is possible, we are open every day. Please note that Teuge Airport charges higher landing fees for all flights from early April to the end of September. Therefore the rental price is higher during weekends in this period.
