| As
you commence lessons your first major goal is to go solo. To achieve
this you need to satisfy your instructor on a practical sense that
you can fly and land the aircraft on your own in varying weather conditions.
You will also need to pass the pre-solo written exam. Immediately
after this exciting achievement you will need to have an aircraft
of your own to fly, as then a minimum of 5 hours flying solo is required,under
your instructors supervision, before you qualify to be issued with
a pilot's license.
Safety for people's health and well being is the most important
ingredient taught and practised at Gawler Microlights. This is followed
very closely by the safety and care of equipment and the hunger
to have fun!
Gawler Microlights has a faultless record of safety for both people
and flying machine, and work very hard for it to stay that way.
We wish to be instructing and providing the experience of Microlight
flying for many years to come, and will only do so if safety is
kept at a premium.
Flying in any form of recreational aircraft is considered as a
high risk activity, but the extent of that risk can be greatly reduced
by:-
- Sound practical training and information.
- High quality and well maintained equipment.
- Respect and good knowledge of the weather and suitable flying
conditions.
Gawler Microlights can, and has provided, proven training and testing
procedures to satisfy items 1 & 3.
For Gawler Microlights to retain it's high standard of safety success
and to assure it's students of many years of hassle free fun, we
highly recommend the purchase of new aircraft (please see the Airborne
web site or talk to Rob as there are many models to suit your
needs and yout wallet).
As Trikes are a recreational aircraft they do not require a certified
aircraft mechanic (L.A.M.E.) to conduct the maintenance. The maintenance
is therefore generally conducted by the owner and a documented Log
is kept of this. Depending on the owners skills, this maintenance
and repair can vary a lot, in standard, from aircraft to aircraft.
Second-hand aircraft are available, and can be suitable, but will
only be allowed if Gawler Microlights has, or can obtain, an intimate
knowledge of it’s history. Once taking on a student we only
have your best interest at heart.
Be smart, and make use of the experience and knowledge of your instructor.
