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.
Electric Aircraft Differences Training
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.
Time to get your tailwheel endorsement?
Learning to fly a tail wheel, certainly helps to improve your stick and rudder coordination. Our tailwheel EuroFox is a fun and rewarding aircraft to fly.
