You have taken a trial lesson with us and you want to follow the entire conversion training
Good to hear that you are continuing! This product is the same as the E-Conversion but with a deduction of your first trial lesson. You will also gain access to the E-Learning environment. After you have absorbed the theory, we will be flying again soon. After your trial lesson, it will be three flights with an instructor and one solo flight.
What exactly is the deal with that conversion?
On a PPL license, it has always stated that one can fly with a single-engine piston (reciprocating engine). Since last year, it is also possible to obtain a class rating for electric propulsion. After successfully completing the training, the endorsement is immediately added by the instructor in your logbook. From then on, you can fly solo on the Velis. Our aircraft can also be rented. More about this soon on our site.
Theory
The theory consists of an E-learning training with a short test. Expect about 10 hours of study. We will send the details well in advance so you can start the self-study. We assume that you have completed the theory before you start the lessons.
Good to know
- For an E-Conversion, you already need a valid PPL or LAPL license. A higher license such as CPL or ATPL is of course also acceptable.
- You must have a medical certificate of at least class 2.
- Please note that the MTOW (Maximum Take-Off Weight) of the Pipistrel Velis Electro is 600 kilograms. The pilot and passenger (or instructor and student) together must not weigh more than 180 kilograms. That is an average of 90 kilograms per occupant. Including clothing and other materials that are taken on board.
Date and time appointment
You can choose your dates and times directly when placing your order. This can also be done later. We will then send you the information and all possible dates on which you can schedule the lessons. Of course, it may happen that the weather is unfavorable and we have to reschedule the trial lesson. We will always inform you as soon as possible.
It is possibly possible to complete the entire training in one day. If you would like this, please indicate it in the comments.
Taking lessons on the weekend
That is possible, we are open every day. Please keep in mind that the airport charges higher landing fees for all flights from early April to late September. Therefore, this training is more expensive during this period if you want to take lessons on the weekend.
