The objective of our flight training is to become licensed to fly aerodynamically controlled ultra light aircraft. Training usually takes place at Husum (EDXJ) airport; if needed this can be done at airports nearer to you as well. 

Currently we employ two fulltime flight instructors. Coordinate your flight training with them; they will accommodate you on weekdays or during the weekend.

The instruction is structured in a practical and a theoretical part. Theory classes are usually scheduled on Sunday mornings.

Requirements to enter a flight training program

• Minimum age to enroll is 16 (licensing possible after turning 17).
• A certificate of good conduct issued by the police.
• A photocopy of your ID and drivers license.
• A certificate that confirms that you attended a first aid course.
• Medical Class-2.
• Four small format photos, one of which will end up on your license.

Items covered in your flight training

• Theory classes: Airframe structures, Meteorology, Navigation, Air Law, Human Factors.
• At least 30 hours flight training.
• Radiotelephony course for operating VHF equipment.
• Familiarization with the rescue system (German law considers the rocket built into rescue systems to be an explosive in their subcategory T2, requiring formal training).

Tests

• Examination by a DAeC examiner:  40 multiple-choice questions about each of the theoretical topics mentioned above.
• A check flight with the airplane you were trained on.
• VHF Radiotelephony (R/T-) license test, both with theoretical and practical content.
• A test about the rescue system by one of our flight instructors.

Carrying Passengers
According to German law, you need a rating on your license before you are allowed to take a passenger with you.  To get this rating, you need to have flown at least five cross country flights, tho of which must have covered at least 200 KM (124 miles).

Medical examination
In Germany to fly ultra light aircraft you are required to carry a medical class-2 issued by doctor certified to do these examinations. In our area these are offered by:

    Dr. Mathias Schmidt
    Lohgerber Weg 1
    D-25870 Oldenswort
    +49 4864 100588
    +49 175 3003636
    DrM.Schmi@t-online.de

You are advised to contact him and check which tests are needed.  Quite often your physician can do some of the tests upfront, in which case you would only need to present the results.

An intitial class-2 medical examination will cost around € 150  -  € 200.
