Apply for an individual training program with facilitations for (former) holders of a military pilot license from Germany.
Would you like to start training in the field of aviation personnel and already hold or have held a military pilot's license from Germany? Then you can apply to the Federal Aviation Office for a training waiver.
Description
If you would like to start training in the field of aviation personnel, you can take advantage of a training waiver if you already hold or have held a military pilot's license from Germany. To do this, you need a permit, which you apply for from the Federal Aviation Office (LBA). For this purpose, the future training organization (Approved Training Organization, ATO) must draw up an individual training programme, which the LBA will approve.
These administrative services are generally aimed at all students who hold or have held a military pilot's license. You can also be represented by the future ATO or a third party.
