What is it?
Starting a flight training is a dream for many. It's also an investment in time and money. To ensure that flying is really something for you, we offer an assessment. It gives you a very good picture of the training, the experience of flying, and your own aptitude.
An assessment consists of six flying lessons. These are also the first six lessons of the PPL course. So they count towards the minimum 45 hours. After these lessons, you'll have answers to the following questions:
- Is flying really your dream? Is it worth the investment?
- Do you have the aptitude to become a pilot?
In other words: Do you really want this? And how realistic is it that you can take and pass your practical exam within the minimum requirement of 45 hours of flying? You must also take into account that this may be more. That's not unusual at all. On average, people need 6 to 10 extra lessons.
After the lessons
After the six lessons, you evaluate the training with the instructor. It may be that you indeed find it fantastic and have talent as well. It may also be that you, or the instructor, come to the conclusion that becoming a pilot might not be for you. You discuss the continuation of the training. Of course, the hours you've completed count towards obtaining your license.
What you do and don't need
For this assessment, you don't yet need to have had a medical examination and you don't need to have passed a theory exam yet.
Furthermore, the following conditions apply:
- You are 16 years or older.
- If you weigh more than 95 kilos (with clothes and shoes on), or are taller than 1.95 m, please call us. With a maximum takeoff weight of 600 kilograms, there are limitations.
Arranging date and time
You can choose your dates and times directly with your order. That can also be done later. We will then send you the information and all possible dates on which you can schedule the lessons. Of course, it might happen that the weather doesn't cooperate and we need to reschedule a lesson. We will always let you know as soon as possible.
Taking lessons on weekends
That's possible, we're open every day. Please note that the airport charges higher landing fees for all flights during the period from early April to late September. Therefore, the assessment is more expensive during this period if you want to take lessons on weekends.
Good to know
If you've already had a trial lesson, you're probably looking for the PPL assessment of 5 lessons.
