Offer of training
The Flight School on Flint offers training in several areas: powered flight training (e.g. LAPL(A) or PPL(A)), gliding training, ultralight flight and powered gliding training. In addition, there are special ratings such as tow rating (sail towing), aerobatic gliding and retraining. The location is characterized by daily operational capability, modernly equipped aircraft and an attractive thermal and route flight area.

For entry, interested parties should bring a valid aero-medical medical examination as well as good German skills. Knowledge of English is an advantage in the powered flight and licensing area. Depending on the license type, minimum age, theory and practice hours are specified. For example, lower entry barriers apply for gliding training than for motor or ultralight flight.

The cost structure is transparent: the school states that fees for education and charter are billed on a minute-by-minute basis and that there is a clear fee schedule. Since the training can vary greatly depending on the license, aircraft and individual number of hours, it is recommended to make a personal offer.
