EURO FLIGHT TEST GmbH’s Post

A highlight flying day at EFT: Yesterday the CAT2 students had the chance to experience a highlight of their course: besides a Tecnam P2008, the fully FTI equipped Remos GX, the aerobatic AS202 Bravo NG the #FANJET 600 had a fly-in at EDGS. Test pilot and LFTE students all accomplished performance tests in this exotic aircraft. It seemed that on every's student face there was a neverending smile when removing their helmet. Big thanks to FanJet Aviation GmbH and Martin Hinterwaldner! https://lnkd.in/gBtimub5 https://lnkd.in/gvCmxsUT

Exciting Day for a young boy at EURO FLIGHT TEST Today we have had the pleasure of hosting Niklas, a high school intern from "Gymansium Am Löhrtor" in #Siegen, who shares our passion for aviation! During his time with us, he had the opportunity to dive into our world of aviation, getting hands-on experience in our VR motion simulator and participating in engaging briefings and lectures. At EURO FLIGHT TEST GmbH, we believe in nurturing the next generation of aviation enthusiasts and professionals. Our doors are always open to those eager to learn and grow in this dynamic field. We wish Niklas all the best for his high school time and hope to see him one day become a pilot at airport Siegerland. #AviationEnthusiast #FutureOfAviation #InternshipExperience #AviationIndustry

🔌⚡Exciting Update from the Skies! Thrilled to share the exhilarating journey of our recent flight of the #EASACAT2 course featuring the revolutionary #PipistrelVelisElectro aircraft, following a previous immersion in Electric Aviation Theory. With sustainability at the forefront, Electric Aviation has emerged as a pivotal branch in Germany and Europe's aviation landscape. Our course took a dive into the principles, advancements, and operational intricacies of e-aviation, paving the way for a greener and more efficient future of flight. Embarking on this enlightening journey were two bright minds representing leading electric aircraft manufacturers/integrators, #LILIUM and #H55. Their presence enriched the discourse, offering insights and perspectives from the forefront of innovation. During this day we observed and confirmed the operational limitations characteristic of e-aircraft, including endurance considerations and weather dependencies. Understanding these critical facets is paramount when designing and testing the reliability and resilience of electric flight. As we reflect on today's flight, it's evident that electric aviation isn't just a concept—it's a tangible reality shaping the future of air travel. #ElectricAviation #SustainableFlight #FlightTest #FutureOfAviation #TestPilotSchool

Another exciting day at EURO FLIGHT TEST. During the CAT2 Fixed Wing course, a student from WTD61 (German Military Flight Test Center) performed HQ flights in the Fanjet600 aircraft from our cooperation partner Fanjet Aviation GmbH. The Fanjet is a unique German design from the 60ies, intended to build a low-cost fighter trainer for the AlphaJet.

EFT completes OT&E Systems Course for German Air Force After having successfully completed several basic OT&E courses, the German Air Force ordered a 4-weeks customized OT&E course focused on military aircraft systems like EO/IR, RADAR, EW etc. While the first two weeks the 8 students with a background in various aircraft types focused on academics, the last two weeks they practiced in a Do-328 full flight simulator and tested/evaluated a weather RDR in flight.  An extensive oral presentation completed the course. EFT thanks the Luftwaffe and is proud to having been selected again as the flight test training provider of the German Air Force.

After having received full scope certification for EASA CAT1 / CAT2, Aeroplane / Helicopter, Test Pilot / Lead Flight Test Engineer training, EFT now offers transition training from your Military Test Pilot School certificate to an EASA test pilot rating in your licence. If you are a graduate of a MIL TPS and would like to work for an EASA Part 21J design organization, you may need an EASA rating in your licence in order to conduct the respective test flights. Taking into account your qualifications from the MIL TPS, EFT will set up an individual transition training for you.

As first commercial European Test Pilot School, EFT recently received approval from the German CAA (Luftfahrtbundesamt) to perform the complete spectrum of flight test training i.a.w. EASA regulations: - Aeroplane CAT 2 TP and LFTE - Aeroplane CAT 1 TP and LFTE - Helicopter CAT 2 TP and LFTE - Helicopter CAT 1 TP and LFTE - Flight Test Instructor (A) - Flight Test Instructor (H) Following this tremendous milestone, EFT has commenced its first EASA CAT 1 Helicopter course. Thanks to the trust of our customers, the dedication of our staff and the professionalism of the Luftfahrtbundesamt EFT can expand its promotion of flight test safety and highest standards in flight test to the European aviation community.
