The acquisition of a flight licence is basically possible for everyone. But in contrast to a normal car driving licence, a flying licence brings various bureaucratic preparations and requirements to the table.
Within our guide "Getting a license" we would like to show you how to go from pedestrian to pilot, who you need to contact and which pitfalls may await you on your way.
As part of our own pilot training, we have realised that it is often far too difficult to receive up-to-date, detailed and complete information. There are some really good websites, but even these often only contain partial information. Over time, we found ourselves with an ever-growing list of links and different information snippets. This idea evolved and the result is what you see now.
We are aware that we cannot guarantee absolute correctness and completeness everywhere. Likewise, not all content has been finalised, as we are devoting ourselves to this project in our spare time. We hope for your understanding and ask for your support!
We are constantly working to further improve our pilot hub and are therefore grateful for any feedback, suggestions or criticism. Feel free to use the contact options at the bottom of the page and we will get back to you as soon as possible 🙂
We hope to help you on your way to become a pilot or someone deeply interested in aviation and to accompany you throughout your aviation pathway at all times!
I only started flying at the age of 40 - which was actually far too late!
After my LAPL training on the trusty Cessna 172, I completed my PPL, my instrument rating and finally my CPL almost seamlessly. Whether Mooney, Cessna or a TB20, flying has cast a spell over me! So much so that I recently became the proud co-owner of a Cessna P210, which also has room for my entire family, including my three children. Who knows, maybe my enthusiasm will rub off on them!
Originally dreaming of becoming a pilot, I ended up becoming an engineer.
Fortunately, I started my LAPL training at the end of my studies, which was immediately followed by my PPL including night flying.
Naturally, I am also interested in all aircraft technology and avionics and am delighted to be a member of Germany's oldest flying club - the Luftfahrtverein Essen e.V.!
