What's involved
|
|
| |
The Joint
Aviation Authority (JAA) specifies a minimum of 45 hours flying training, of
which 10 hours must be solo. Clearly defined exercises cover aircraft
familiarisation, climbing, descending, turning, slows flight and circuits,
culminating in your first solo. Steep turns, emergency drills and instrument
flying lead on to dual and solo navigation tasks. Practical tests in navigation
and general handling complete the course. Early lessons are usually about an
hour in length, though later tasks may require 2-3 hours. Flying is normally
booked in advance with the office. |
