July Update

Welcome to our June 09 Course, Benjamin Cooper has been assigned your Course Coordinator.  He should be your first point of contact should you have any questions.

We had our Orientation Day with a BBQ lunch to introduce our instructors to our new students.

Theory for this course is on a Tuesday with Taleah and Friday with Matthew.  Please ensure that you do the pre-reading before each lesson.

From the time that the students have been here they have managed to achieve the first  practical lessons which teach the basic manoeuvres - Effects of Control, Straight & level, Turning, Climbing and Descending and Stalling.  After these lessons, we will practice circuits - and in particular take-offs and landings.
