The Pipistrel Virus 121SW is a fun, fast two-seater that we use in the training for long navigation flights. The Virus is the most fuel-efficient high-speed cruiser and certainly the fastest high-wing aircraft in its category. The aircraft is made of ultra-modern composite materials, lightweight, robust, and has an unprecedented useful payload of more than 300 kg (660 lbs).
How does it work?
Renting the Pipistrel Virus 121 costs €235 per hour: these are the minutes indicated by the Hobbs meter. If the flight duration is much longer than 60 minutes, we will calculate an additional €3.92 per minute afterwards. The minimum rental time is 60 minutes.
This rate includes:
- VAT
- Fuel
- One terrain landing at Teuge (multiple landings or overland landings are at your own expense and will be invoiced afterwards)
- CO2 compensation in collaboration with TreeByTree
On which days and times can I rent your aircraft?
This depends on our lesson schedule. In principle, booking earlier means more flexibility. Flying is possible within the airport's operating hours (Teuge) and as long as E-Flight personnel are present in the building for supervision.
You can see the available dates and times when you select "Choose date and time" on this page. You'll see slots of one hour with a half-hour margin before and after the slot. If you want to fly for multiple hours, simply book the consecutive slots or call 055 203 2230 and we'll help you out.
If nothing suits you, you can coordinate with us by phone.
Day trips, weekend trips, or more
If you want to go away longer with our aircraft, for example to Texel for lunch or a weekend somewhere, this is only possible if no lessons are booked for the aircraft. In addition to the flight time costs, you'll also pay a fee if you leave the aircraft on the ground for more than an hour. We'll settle this afterwards. You only pay for the hours on the ground during operating hours (since we can't use the aircraft then).
Conditions
To use our aircraft, you must meet a number of conditions.
-
You must have a valid Single Engine Piston rating and have successfully completed a check-out flight with one of our instructors before your first rental.
-
We ask you to carefully read and sign our rental agreement and safety declaration. You should have done this directly after your training. Upload this signed document in your Wings before renting.

https://www.eflight.nl/products/30-minute-check-out
- Of course, you must have a valid license and valid medical certificate
Flying on the weekend
You can, we are open every day. However, be aware that Teuge airport applies higher landing fees for all flights from early April to late September. Therefore, the rental price is higher on weekends during this period.
