Theoretical Examination
A Multiple-Choice-Test with 100 questions is used to test the theoretical knowledge taught in ground school.
Flight Training
12 hours of the Flight Training for the Class Rating are done on the aircraft.
2 hours can be Ground Training on the aircraft
Emergency procedures and simulated engine failures need to be trained by a CRI(A) during the training.
Practical Examination/ Skill Test
The Check Flight is done on the same aircraft as used in the flight training sessions. To pass the test the student pilot shows the necessary skills, knowledge and behavior to conduct the flight in a safe and professional manner.
Differences Training
On request.
