Lesson#
1 starts with the basics - the effects of the controls. From there you
progress step by step through straight & level flight, climbing &
descending, turning, takeoffs & landings.
After
approximately 11 hours you should be ready for one of the most thrilling
experiences of your lifetime - your first solo flight. This is done at
the airfield with your instructor close at hand watching you every step
of the way.
Once
you have gone solo there follows additional advanced and solo training
out in the training area, leading up to your Flight Test.
Anyone
can legally qualify for their Pilots Certificate provided you are 15 years
or older. We currently have students well into their 60's training for
their Pilots Certificate.
No
medical certificates are required at any stage of the training course,
but you will need the same health requirements as a Motor Vehicle Drivers
License.
