Air transport - permit to fly an aircraft conversion application
Service Description
In order to be allowed to participate in air traffic, you need a permit (aviation license/pilot's license). The conversion of the PPL permit into an LAPL permit is carried out by the state aviation authority at your request.
Process flow
Acquiring an aviation license
Once you have covered all the required subjects in theory lessons at the aviation school, you then take the theory exam at the Thuringian State Administration Office. If you have also successfully mastered this hurdle, the practical lessons follow. Once you are ready for the exam, the aviation school will register you for the practical exam at the Thuringian State Administration Office. The latter issues an examiner assignment with an approved flight examiner. After successfully passing the exam, you can be issued your license - after submitting all required documents.
Renewal
In the event that the validity period of a rating has expired, it can be renewed upon application by undergoing refresher training and passing a proficiency check.
Conversion
Upon request, the rights deriving from the license may be converted.
