Winter objectives... Pilot Rating

Post by Sad Northerner »

Hi All

just a quick message to get an idea about numbers of people interested in working towards their pilot rating this winter time with a view to sitting the exam in Feb/March 2015.

Can those interested either reply here or pm me their name, BHPA number and a basic overview of their current experience level based on the Pilot Task book tasks.

As well as this would anyone be interested in meeting for a pilot development pint at the Lion and Lamb in Horsley?

Regards

Ali

Count me in Ali, not sure what tasks I have left to do but I'll dig out my log book & have a look.
I'm up for more of the pub meetings too.

Any update on this? I don't really want to go for full pilot rating until I've got a few independent (as possible) xcs under my belt - but more than happy to participate in any pilot development classes that may be on the go

CSC has a xc theory day for xc beginners arranged in Staveley on sat the 31st of this month which Gordon C and I are attending - dangerous Dave says it's definitely not a blab lab for xc vets more a question and answer day for us looking to break into the xc scene. Not sure if there's any places left and I think you need to be a CSC member but if interested get in touch with Dave.

Can I suggest we have another development session, perhaps at the Lion and the Lamb at Horsley or the Blackbull at Corbridge, aimed at those hoping to do their first XC's or develop their soaring and thermaling techniques.

Also next flying day that I'm available I'll put on a practical coaching session.


Anyone?
