Fachschule für Luftfahrzeugführer (FFL) is a private flight school for professional pilots in Germany. The predecessor establishment, from which FFL would emerge, was founded in 1963. FFL is based in Essen/Mülheim Airport.[1]
The establishment has been involved mainly in the training of professional pilots in preparation for their theoretical and practical state exams, absolved at the local authority - namely: Luftfahrt-Bundesamt.[2]
Training Procedure
[edit]Theoretical Training includes Flight Mechanics, Metereology, Flight Communication, Mass and Balance, Electrical Engineering and Aviation Medicine among others.[3]
For practical training, FFL employs widespread aeroplane-models and modern Flight Simulators. Among those aeroplanes are a Piper Archer III with an Avidyne Entegra Digital-Display Cockpit, four Cessna 152, two Cessna 172, one Socata TB 20 and two Diamond DA 42 TDI.[4]
Training Degrees
[edit]Students are prepared for the state exams conducted by Luftfahrt-Bundesamt including, but not limited to, the following licenses:
- Private Pilot Licence (PPL)[5]
- Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)[5]
- Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)[5]
- Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) as a continuous or a modular model, the latter being of use for pilots who already own one or several other licenses.[5]
- Flight-Instructor-Licence[5]
Cooperation
[edit]Starting in the fall of 2013, FFL partook in University of Pune's training of engineers including flight training as part of the degree. The two-year-long theoretical part of training will take place at the University of Pune, and the practical training following that will take place at the Essen/Mülheim Airport.[6]
