***NEW*** VFR NAVIGATION – GROUND SCHOOL
Throughout November/December 2017 and January 2018, we begin the first of our series of evening ground schools, starting with VFR Navigation. From from route and weather considerations, through to detailed flight planning, performance charts and the use of the CRP-1 navigation slide rule, these 6 sessions will support your own learning for the theory examinations and practical flying.

• Enable you to confidently plan a navigation route, taking into account airspace restrictions, terrain, weather and legal minima.
• Accurately calculate headings, timings and fuel required.
• Support your own self-study learning in preparation for the EASA PPL/LAPL theory examinations.
• Give you some useful tips to reduce your workload whilst airborne and to make your flying safer and more enjoyable.
