Freedom 2 Fly

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.
