PPL

Initial training introduces the candidate to flight in a single engine aeroplane and starts with the basics of how the aircraft and controls work. Great care is taken to ensure that the basics of aircraft control and pilot scanning are learned thoroughly during this stage. The next section covers practice in the airfield circuit where the student pilot will learn how to take off and land the aircraft and become familiar with airfield operations and the use of the radio. When the instructor feels the student is ready for it then comes the first solo flight, a major milestone for anyone learning to fly.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR A PA 28 GHARN

The next phase focuses on navigation skills. This will include flights away from the home airfield of increasing difficulty and includes planning, visual and radio navigation, Air Traffic Control communication, practice diversions and emergency procedures, and operations at commercial airports. This part culminates in a solo cross-country flight of 270 km (150 nm) between 3 different airfields.

The final section consists of preparation and rehearsal for the PPL skill test. All manoeuvres are reviewed during this phase and the candidate’s proficiency is raised to the standard required for the PPL flight test.

Ground School. In parallel with the flying training the student will need to study for and pass some exams. There are nine of these starting with Air Law and include Principles of Flight, Aircraft General Knowledge, Navigation, Flight Performance and Planning, Meteorology, Communications, and Human Performance. The studying for these exams can be done at home or if preferred individual or class instruction can be provided. Ground School is charged at £30 per hour when carried out on a one-to-one basis, if there are several of you learning at the same time then this cost can be shared.

Other Things to Consider

All training takes place in a Cessna 152 (2 seater) or a PA 28(4 seater) according to your preference and comprises of :

35 hours of dual instruction
10 hours of supervised solo flight

The time it takes to complete a course varies from individual to individual. Remember that the 45 hour figure is a minimum required by the Civil Aviation Authority. Not many people manage to get their license in the minimum hours. Normally it takes between 50/55 hours depending on how often you fly. The more frequently and regularly you are flying the less time it will take you to learn. So allow for this in your budgeting.

Trial Flying Experience

Well try a flight experience in one of our Piper Warrior 4 seater aircraft. You can book 2 different durations: 45 minutes will cost £160 and 60 minutes will cost £190

You will be shown the basics of flight by one of our experienced pilots and you will be able to take control of the aircraft at different phases of flight.

You don’t need to book the time of the flight here. Pay for the flight and we will send you a gift voucher which will have a validity of 6 months. When you are ready to fly, and the weather looks good, give us a call at the school and book your flight. At weekends we will probably need 1 weeks notice. During the week it can be much shorter. (Please remember that weather can effect the safety of flights, so a booked flight can be cancelled at short notice if the weather turns unexpectedly. This can of course be rebooked for another day)

Because they are 4 seater aircraft you also have the opportunity to bring one or two friends or family with you to enjoy the experience from the back seat.

Flight Simulator

FNPT2 simulator. When you graduate to flying a multi-engine aircraft you can learn many of the basics and procedures without leaving the ground. Moreover, these hours spent learning on the simulator will count to the hours required for the instrument rating licence. The simulator can also be used for those who already hold a multi-engine instrument rating for revalidation.
