Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) License Services: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how commercial pilots can renew and validate their flight crew licenses through the German federal aviation authority.
This service allows commercial pilots to manage the essential legal paperwork required to keep their flying credentials active.
Who it's for
This is specifically for commercial pilots who hold EASA licenses (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) that were issued in Germany.
What you get
You can use these services to handle the renewal, revalidation, or endorsement of your flight crew licenses. This ensures your professional certification remains legally valid for commercial work.
What it costs you
The cost is not a single fixed amount; fees vary depending on the specific service you require. To complete an application, you will need to provide your valid medical certificates and your official training records.
The catch to know
Processing times can be quite long. To avoid any gap in your ability to fly, you should submit your renewal applications at least three months before your current license expires.
How to apply
- Gather your current license and valid medical documentation.
- Prepare your relevant training records.
- Submit your application through the official portal.
- Monitor your application status to ensure no further information is needed.
