New digital application to manage aeronautical personnel licenses: Ultralight pilots, gliders and balloons

Madrid, 5 February 2025 (ESAA)

Next Monday, February 10, 2025, the State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) will organize an online session to explain the operation and news of its new application of aeronautical licenses. This time, the day will be aimed at ultralight pilots (ULM), gliders (SFCL) and balloons (BFCL), who will be able to know first-hand this new tool and clarify any doubts about its use.

• Day: 10 February
• Online access here
• Agenda here.

In addition, the Agency has made available to users a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) for pilots of ultralight ULM, gliders (SFCL) and balloons (BFCL) in order to facilitate the use of the new tool. Likewise, all the information on the website and Electronic Office has been updated to adapt it to this procedure, which entered into force for these professional groups on November 14 for ULM, and on November 28 for SFCL and BFCL.

Benefits of the new application

The implementation of this new application strengthens AESA's commitment to the continuous improvement of its services as a public body. The new procedure offers, as a main advantage, a digital environment to carry out all the procedures related to the application and management of licenses in a more intuitive and fast way for the managed one.

In this way, the user can carry out any procedure from the Electronic Office without having to use the official sending by registration for any request. In addition, through the new platform, you can provide all the necessary documentation for each procedure, as well as the requirements and conditions to act as a representative of another person. With this, the administrator will have an overview of the process of processing his file by being able to consult his status online.

On the other hand, for AESA, this new way supposes a greater efficiency in the entire procedure of processing the files, since certain processes and direct notifications to the user are automated.
