Spring is Coming PDF Print E-mail

Incredibly recently the photo on the front page of my site was of winter snow. Now by lying flat on my tummy with my head in the pond (well almost) the photo is of frogs. So spring is on its way.

I have my “No Instrument Instruction” restriction removed, so it is time to be ready to teach IMC or IR. If there are any really adventurous flyers out there, then I hope to be off to Limoges in the next week or two, to build hours ready for my multi-engine instructor. If you are suitable qualified to fly a twin and fancy coming along paying for the sectors you fly then please get in touch.

For student pilots and PPL holders, now is the time to get back in the saddle with a check ride. Why not also fish out the map and plan a cross country to a new and exciting destination – somewhere you have never been before. If your planning is a bit rusty ground school is available a reasonable rates either one to one or for small groups.

Here’s to a great summer flying.

Above the Cloud
In order to operate an aircraft above the clouds in the UK (out of sight of the surface) the pilot requires some form of instrument qualification. This is either  the internationally recognised Instrument Rating (IR) or a cut down version recognised in the UK (perhaps we have more cloud than most) called the Instrument Meteorological Contitions (IMC) Rating. It is nearly ten years since I first poped out on top of cloud in a light aircraft with my instructor and I well remember the amazing sense of joy I experienced at meeting the light on what was otherwise an overcast day. So what better way to top that experience than to qualify to teach others to fly safely above the clouds. My training was completed over 5 days and my exam is booked for later in the month. Until then, I have the photo to enjoy. If you would like to learn to fly above the cloud (IMC or IR) starting in March please contact me.
