Luftverkehr - Luftfahrerschein erwerben (Luftfahrerschein/Pilotenlizenz)

You would like to become a private pilot? Then you need an aviation license, which you can apply for at the state aviation authority after successful training in a flight school. You can also have the issued aviation license renewed or converted.

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.

Registration for training

Registration for participation in the examinations

only for pilot licenses for motor-driven aircraft: valid certificate of background check according to § 7 of the German Aviation Security Act (LuftSiG)

Copy of the identity card

To be submitted by the applicant:

Valid certificate of fitness from an aviation medical examiner

Declaration of ongoing investigation and criminal proceedings

Training in theory and practice with a legally defined minimum number of flight hours, take-offs and landings

successfully passed theoretical and practical examination

Proof of the acquisition of practical radiotelephony rights (e.g. BZF)

Personal requirements:

An administrative fee of € 50.00 - € 70.00 is charged for the issuance of an aviation license.

This does not include the administrative fees and expenses for the theoretical and practical examination.

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.

Passing the theoretical exam: within 18 months after the start of the exam.

Passing the practical exam: within two years after passing the theory exam.

Renewal of the permit: before the expiry of the validity of the permit.
