Aviation - Obtaining an aviation license (pilot's license)
Service Description
In order to participate in air traffic, you need a permit (pilot's license) in which the acquired authorizations are entered.
Note: Permits for commercial and professional pilots are the responsibility of the Federal Aviation Office (LBA) and those for air sports pilots (ultralight aircraft, hang gliders, paragliders and parachutists) are the responsibility of the air sports associations.
The acquisition of a pilot's license requires the successful completion of theoretical and practical training. The training takes place at an approved pilot training organization (ATO) or a registered pilot training organization (DTO) and includes theoretical knowledge and practical skills in areas such as navigation, aircraft knowledge, operating procedures, communication, meteorology, flight performance and flight planning as well as aviation law.
The renewal of the authorization and the conversion of the permit are carried out at the request of the holder of the pilot's license.
Process flow
Obtaining a pilot's license
Once you have covered all the required subjects in the theory lessons at the aviation school, you will then take the theory test at the Thuringian State Administration Office. Once you have successfully passed this hurdle, practical lessons follow. Once you are ready to take the examination, the aviation school will register you for the practical examination at the Thuringian State Office of Administration. This will issue an examiner assignment with an approved flight examiner. Once you have successfully passed the examination, you can be issued your license after submitting all the necessary documents.
Renewal
In the event that the validity period of a license has expired, it can be renewed upon application by undergoing refresher training and passing a proficiency check.
Conversion
The rights arising from the license can be converted upon request.
