SUMMARY:FREE Ground School - Radio and Communications
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 13th October ground school will be learning how to talk on the radio as we explore Radio and Comms. \n\n\n\nSounding competent when using the radio is an essential part of flying.

SUMMARY:FREE Ground School - Navigation
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 22nd September we will be focusing on Navigation at the usual time 18:00 – 20:00 \n\n\n\nWhen flying as PIC (pilot in command)\, you also need to become a navigator too. It’s critical you are able to apply the correct practices to navigational tasks and developing your navigation skills is the very essence of flying solo\, hence the importance of this section of the PPL(H) syllabus. \n\n\n\nThe ability to Navigate is second only to physically flying the aircraft so to hone your NAV skills will be a huge benefit to your overall competence as a pilot; for student\, self fly hirer\, commercial pilot or aircraft owner. Specific topics to be confirmed \n\n\n\nWe will meet at the flying school or in our Virtual Crew Room \n\n\n\nFirst time? Whether you are a seasoned flyer or just beginning your flying journey\, this week’s ground school is for you… Escape into our virtual crew room and enjoy a couple of hours of pilot chat! \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP via email to training@elstreehelicopters.co.uk whether you are joining us in person or online\, and look out for an invitation from Capt. White.

SUMMARY:FREE Ground School - Operational Procedures

SUMMARY:FREE Ground School - Operational Procedures
DESCRIPTION:We hope you enjoyed Principles of Flight last time\, After some great feedback on the last session POF we have added it to our YouTube channel for a limited time click here to watch again. Thank-you to everyone that participated\, as ever the success of these evenings is largely due to the commitment and involvement of our cohort. Next up is… Operational Procedures on Tuesday 18th March at the usual time 18:00 – 20:00. \n\n\n\nFor the most part\, understanding Operational Procedures requires common sense and often good airmanship is the key. Essentially\, the procedures are there for a reason and basically you have to prove you understand them. We will focus on\, among others; Taxiways\, high altitude operations\, signals\, aerodrome procedures and marshalling signals but welcome any suggestions or questions you have across the topic. \n\n\n\nWe will meet at the flying school or in our Virtual Crew Room via ‘ZOOM’. Please RSVP and look out for an invitation from Capt. White \n\n\n\nIf you haven’t been before then why not give it a try! Whether you are currently training or a qualified pilot escape into our virtual crew room and enjoy a couple of hours of pilot chat!
