LAPL(A) Private pilot
The license of LAPL(A) allows you to fly two- and four-seated aircraft (such as our Cessnas C-172) with up to 3 passengers in Europe.
The license can later be expanded by further licenses or ratings such as PPL(A). LAPL is the acronym for Light Aircraft Pilot License (Aircraft).
Requirements
- Sec. 23 para. 2 Air Traffic Licensing Order (LuftVZO): minimum age to start training is 16 (license qualification with age of 17)
- aviation medical class 2 or LAPL
- background check (must be obtained before starting the training)
- declaration of pending criminal proceedings (Sec. 24 para. 3 no. 3 and 4 Air Traffic Licensing Order)
- extract of German Federal Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Drivers (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt) (Sec. 30 para. 8 of Road Traffic Act (StVG))
The following documents are needed in the course of the training:
- Radio Telephony Certificate (BZF) - (is being acquired in parallel to the flight training)
Theoretical training
The theoretical part of the training contains 6 training subjects. In addition there will be the theory for the Radio Telephony Certificate.
- Technics (aerodynamics, aircraft knowledge)
- Navigation
- Meteorology
- Air Law
- Human Performance
- behaviour in exceptional situations
- Radio Telephony Certificate (BZF) theory
Practical training
The practical part of the training contains 30 flight lessons, 6 lesson hours of which have to be flown without a flight instructor (solo), whereby again at least 3 lesson hours of which need to be cross country flights. One of these cross country flights need to have a minimum flight route of 270 km containing two stops at foreign airports. We are mainly using our Diamonds DA20s, Cessna C-152.
Examinations
The training will be completed by a theoretical and a practical examination. For logical reasons the theoretical examination will be taken after the student pilot's first solo-flight, whereby all subjects of the theoretical training will be examined by means of multiple choice. The practical examination will be taken at the end of the training, when you will fly together with an examiner for about 60 minutes.
