Flying For A Sustainable Future
Flying For A Sustainable Future

When we think of flying, the words ‘eco-friendly’ are probably not the first that come to mind. However, here at Airbourne Aviation we are taking our first steps towards a sustainable future for flight training.

Back at the start of the year, we introduced the Pipistrel Velis Electro to our fleet – the first ever type-certified, electric-powered aircraft fully approved for pilot training in Day VFR operations.

One of eleven aircraft taking part, the Velis Electro, piloted by Cliff alongside navigator Roger Scholes, raced with a handicap speed of 90kts. Although they didn’t win any trophies this time, their demonstration of what can already be achieved with electric flight has opened the eyes of many to what the future of aviation may look like.

The UK CAA permits the Pipistrel Virus 128 Velis Electro to be flown on either a SEP (Land) Class Rating, SSEA (Land) Class Rating, or LAPL(A) with SEP (Land) Privileges.

In all cases, completion of electric aircraft differences training is required, with completion of the differences training endorsed in the pilot’s logbook.
