the aim:
The hour building program is designed to assist you in developing your flying skills from those of a private pilot to the standard required of a commercial pilot. We have found that in traditional non-structured hour building, the time is not normally used productively and no new skills are learned. It can often lead to deterioration in flying skills as bad habits and practices are picked up.
During the program, candidates will be continually assessed and directed to areas of study to consolidate existing skills as well as learning new ones. Through the continual assessment process it is possible to adapt the program to meet the varied requirements of individual candidates and provide a personalised training package. Key skills that will be developed are:-
-
✦ Captaincy
-
✦ Accuracy
-
✦ Flight by sole reference to instruments
-
✦ Time Management
-
✦ Pre-flight planning
-
✦ Navigation
-
✦ General handling
-
✦ VOR and ADF tracking
-
✦ Captain and passenger briefing
-
✦ Fuel Management
-
✦ Standardization
We believe that upon completion of the course the candidate will be in a much more advantageous position to be able to complete a Commercial Pilots License course in minimum time and achieve a first time pass.
