Virtual Ground School – Flight Performance and Planning
We hope everyone enjoyed Operational Procedures at our last session, felt quite retro to be back online only again. Next up on Tuesday 8th November we will be exploring Flight Performance & Planning 18:00 - 20:00
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 be looking at LAT & LONG, Charts & Symbology, Airspace, Weight and Balance, PLOGS and the good old Whizz Wheel (CRP-1). Meet at the flying school or in our virtual crew room via 'ZOOM' don't forget to RSVP!
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 – Operational Procedures
We hope you enjoyed Principles of Flight last time, I know many of you were keen to continue on the subject so will try and juggle the schedule to make room for that. Next up is... Operational Procedures on Tuesday 31st August at the usual time 18:00 - 20:00.
For 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; Squawk codes, flight plans, GARs, radio intercom and headsets, ground resonance, emergency procedures but welcome any suggestions or questions you have across the topic.

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.
