SFVOE

Segelflugverein Oerlinghausen e.V. is a flying club based at Oerlinghausen airfield in the East Westphalia-Lippe region of Germany. With nearly 200 members, the club brings together people with a shared enthusiasm for aviation across four disciplines: gliding, motor gliding, ultralight flying and model aircraft. Its fleet includes eight aircraft, and its website advertises membership from €42 per month.

The club offers a route from beginner to pilot, with flying training and opportunities to try the sport before committing, including a trial month and a “pilot for a day” experience. Gliding lets members take to the air quietly near the Teutoburg Forest, while motor gliders support year-round excursions. The ultralight flying section operates an EV 97 Eurostar, and the model flying section welcomes those interested in aircraft on a smaller scale. The club also promotes youth participation, with flying available from age 14, and shares news, events and competition updates. Alongside flying, it offers a community for members to connect and take part in club life.
