Air transport - apply for a permit to fly an aircraft for private pilots
Service Description
In order to be allowed to participate in air traffic, you need a permit (aviation license/pilot license) in which the respective acquired authorizations are registered.
Note: Permits for commercial and professional pilots are the responsibility of the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) and those for air sports pilots (ultralight aircraft, hang gliders, paragliders and parachutists) are the responsibility of the air sports associations.
Obtaining a pilot's license requires the successful completion of theoretical and practical training. The training takes place at an approved aviation training organization (ATO) or a registered aviation training organization (DTO) and includes the teaching of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in, among other things, navigation, aircraft knowledge, operating procedures, communications, meteorology, flight performance and planning, and aviation law.
The renewal of the rating as well as the conversion of the permit are carried out at the request of the holder of the pilot's license.
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.
