Skills needed |
 |
The skills can be readily mastered by anyone willing to devote a little effort to it. Our high quality training comprises a ground study program and a flight program. The principles learned on the ground are assimilated in the flight program so that you, the student pilot, will always be comfortably aware of the consequences of each of your actions, or inactions. Each lesson in the air program entails flight time of about one hour plus pre-flight and post-flight briefings.
The study program, though broad-ranging, does not require any particular educational qualification. It covers - in general terms - the mechanics of flight, the forces acting on an aircraft in various stages of flight, the atmosphere and aviation meteorology, aircraft instruments and avionics, navigation principles and practice, air law and engine handling.
