Pilots - ask yourself the following:
- Are you a pilot that gets nervous or suffers motion sickness in turbulent conditions?
- Are you confident you could recover safely from a sudden and violent turbulence induced unusual attitude?
- Are you confident you could avoid loss of control and recognise / prevent a spin / spiral after losing VMC in deteriorating weather conditions?
- Are you confident you could quickly recognise and initiate the correct recovery from a spin or spiral dive with the level of training you currently have?
- Do you secretly lack confidence and feel your training was not adequate and you should be a more capable and confident pilot, but you have your license so you do nothing about it?
We believe that EVERY pilot, as a minimum, should be trained to confidently recover from unusual attitudes, power-on stalls, incipient and fully developed spins. Sadly in most civilian flying schools these topics are not part of the basic pilot training syllabus. Therefore capable training aircraft are not available and student pilots (like their instructors before them) are only taught to fly confidently in two dimensions while we all fly in three dimensional airspace. The focus of the standard basic training syllabus in most flying schools is to teach pilots to “fear and avoid” unusual attitudes, slow speed maneuvering, stalls, spins / spirals. Does this sound like the pilot training YOU received?
Then do something about it! TALK TO COLIN NOW! One day the new skills you will learn may save your life! Call him on 0414 430647 or Click Here to email him.
