Aircraft license; application for a permit or authorization to operate an aircraft.
Participation in air traffic requires a permit and corresponding registered ratings. A distinction is made between permits to fly motorized aircraft, helicopters, gliders, balloons, airships and air sports equipment.
Description
Obtaining a permit to fly aircraft requires theoretical and practical training. The training can only be conducted at an approved or declared training organization (flight school) and imparts knowledge and practical skills in aviation law, human performance, meteorology, communication, fundamentals of flying, operating procedures, flight performance and flight planning, general aircraft knowledge and navigation. Only after passing theoretical and practical examinations at the responsible aviation office is the permit issued.
