Application for a licence or authorisation to fly an aircraft in accordance with the German Air Traffic Act (LuftVG)

In order to be authorised to fly an aircraft, you must have the appropriate permit. After successfully completing training and passing an examination, you can obtain a pilot's licence for the relevant aircraft category.

The acquisition of a licence to fly aircraft requires theoretical and practical training.
