25.01.2022 All thumbs up - Last weekend we had Cal and Anthea get through on their CPL licence flight tests.

23.01.2022 An important part of flight training is the learning that happens from stories told around the BBQ - also.... food is on!

22.01.2022 A paddock in Tasmania today. Stuart is out on a job.

22.01.2022 ** Study Habits ** - what is your top aviation theory/practical study tip for other pilots? A good one is riding a bike around an empty car park while running through circuit procedures and radio calls. "The use of a training syllabus is an effective way for the flight instructor to lead you through the proper steps in learning to fly safely.... When beginning flight training, the development of good study habits includes the practice of visualizing the flight instructor’s explanation plus those of the textbook. Study habits should include time spent with cockpit familiarization. This includes reviewing checklists, identifying controls, and learning the cockpit arrangement." - taken from the FAA Student Pilot Guide

22.01.2022 City sights or Bribie Island - where would you go for a scenic flight?

21.01.2022 All set for today’s flight test

20.01.2022 Last time we had a G2 arrive, Anthea was a student pilot. By coincidence she was visiting us yesterday when our newest one turned up. And now she's a licenced pilot off to Horn Island. Way to go Anthea!

19.01.2022 Conducting rehearsal in the VR Sim before doing the same flight solo this afternoon. Provides amazing training benefits and risk reduction. Students have been leveraging this for almost 2 years now.

07.01.2022 Agree? A pilot’s mental attitude is as important as flying ability. The most important attitude for safe flight is: "straight and level" This means a pilot should be:... #straight (honest, focused, direct); and #level (level-headed, sensible, disciplined, cautious, safe) See more
