Last updated: 2026-04-21
The Scheibe SF25C Falke is a German motor glider powered by a 68 hp Limbach L2000 engine, used at European gliding clubs and ATOs for glider PPL and touring motor glider (TMG) instruction. It is a workhorse of European EASA general-aviation training fleets, used at both DTO and ATO operators for hour-building and rating progression. undefined
What is the Scheibe SF25C Falke used for in flight training?
The SF25C Falke introduces students to soaring flight fundamentals with the safety net of an engine for takeoff and recovery. Its low power-to-weight ratio teaches energy management and glide performance awareness essential for unpowered soaring. Students pursuing the glider PPL(A) or TMG endorsement find the Falke an accessible and low-cost entry point to motor-glider flying. European gliding clubs use the Falke to bridge powered and unpowered operations, giving students flexibility to pursue both gliding and powered flight licences from the same aircraft type.
