Virtual Ground School – Flight Performance and Planning
I hope everyone enjoyed our Meteorology ground school last week. It was fun trying to predict the weather and I think we learnt a lot during the session. Next up on Tuesday 15th March we will be focusing on Flight Performance & Planning at the later time of 19:00 - 21:00
The 7 Ps is a British Army adage for Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents P*** Poor Performance. As an instructor we teach a PIC (pilot in command) the importance of having a well prepared flight plan and a good understanding of your aircraft’s capabilities. On Tuesday we will plan a route together from scratch along with a few FPP highlights; Fuel planning, VFR Charts, Routes, Altitudes, NOTAMS, the good old Whizz Wheel (CRP-1)
Free Ground School – PWQs a Q & A session with Capt. White
Thank you for joining us for our last session Human Performance and Limitations. This week we take a break from the syllabus as on Tuesday 20th July will be PWQs! - a PPL(H) Q & A evening with Capt, White at the usual time 18:00 - 20:00
This will be the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you have about the PPL(H) course theory or otherwise, perhaps you have a specific topic you maybe struggling with or looking for advice for life after PPL. Maybe you want to discuss aircraft types, hour building, aircraft operation or you are a budding or recently qualified instructor looking for hints and tips as you begin your teaching journey.
Virtual Ground School – Human Performance & Limitations
We hope you enjoy our QUIZ NIGHT! Both teams pitted their wits against Capt. White’s (rather tricky this time) PPL questions. Team EN-GER-LAND fought valiantly scoring the number of players on the pitch 22/31 but were out classed by the very inappropriately named opposition GROSSLY UNDERPREPARED who scored a back of the net tastic 30/31. Thanks to all our players (pilots, students or other) and of course our referee/quiz master.
This week Tuesday 6th July we will be looking at Human Performance & Limitations at the usual time 18:00 - 20:00
Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, and it is widely agreed that a better understanding of human capabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological - would help reduce human error and improve flight safety.
