Brief description Aero-Club Gotha E.v.
The Aero-Club Gotha e.V. is a non-profit aviation club at the historic Gotha-Ost airfield in Germany. It operates its own flying school with a focus on training ultralight aircraft pilots. Requirements include a minimum age of 16 and a valid aviation medical fitness certificate (LAPL). The curriculum covers theoretical subjects such as air law, navigation, meteorology, technology, radio communication, human performance, and pyrotechnics related to rescue systems for ultralight aircraft. Practical training is conducted on three-axis controlled ultralight aircraft and includes at least 30 flight hours with solo flights and cross-country flights. Successful participants earn the Sport Pilot Licence (SPL) for ultralight aircraft. The club maintains a fleet with types such as Aeroprakt A-22LS, A-32, and formerly Comco Ikarus C-42. It supports members with aircraft availability, so no own aircraft is required. The home airfield is EDEG Gotha. Further offers include sightseeing flights, flight vouchers, and one-day pilot experiences. The club promotes aviation as a fascinating hobby with a traditional and supportive flying culture maintained by experienced volunteer flight instructors.
Contact is possible by phone and email. The club is active at local events and provides membership applications online for download.
