Three Instructors Qualify in January

martyn — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:58:28 +0000

Congratulations to Max Williams for passing the FI(R) Rating Skill Test in January 2012. Immediately after the training Max has taken up a full time instructor post at Redhill Aerodrome with Redhill Aviation. Max originally learnt his PPL skills at Headcorn Airfield before completing his commercial training at CTC, he then trained at SkyLeisure Aviation for his Instructor Rating.

Congratulations are also due to Alan Maynard and Alan Stokes who completed the Class Rating Instructor course and passed the test at Shoreham. Both are airline pilots with a desire to share their professional experience with private pilots. The CRI allows them the privilege of teaching a PPL how to improve their skills, and therefore, also benefit from their vast knowledge of a carreer in aviation.

Shoreham – new IR Test Centre

martyn — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:14:54 +0000

Due to the changes being brought about by EASA regulations the traditional IR test centres are being closed. This has opened up the opportunity for airfields such as Shoreham to advantage of the great training history it has, to become a new base for initial IR tests. This puts SkyLeisure Aviaton on a more equal footing (with operators at the original flight test centres) for initial IR flight training and testing, as students will no longer have to reposition with their aircraft to another airfield (e.g. Bournemouth) for the CAA flight test.

SkyLeisure Aviation has a long history of flight training for the Instrument Rating (as well as training Instrument Rating Instructors) and now has been given the facility to arrange initial IR flight tests at its base airfield. We have always been able to base renewal IR flight tests from Shoreham and will continue to do so, but allowing initial tests from Shoreham Airfield will enable us to offer our excellent personal service, competitively to a wider pilot customer base.

We pride ourselves in the personal attention we give to students, which may not be available at larger more impersonal organisations, to help them through the more difficult stages of the training. This new development in the regulations will give us a greater opportunity to offer this service to more trainee IR pilots.

Forward Bookings for Instructor Courses 2012

martyn — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:23:32 +0000

Forward bookings for all instructor courses are looking strong for SkyLeisure Aviation. CFI Martyn Blunden reported that there are already a number of bookings for Flight Instructor (Restricted) FI(R), Instrument Rating Instructor (IRI) , Multi-Engine Instructor (MEP CRI), and Single Engine Class Rating Instructor (SEP CRI) courses for 2012. This is testament to SkyLeisure being one of the best flight training schools in the area, particularly in the field of flight instructor training.

MEP pass in minimum time.

martyn — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:06:10 +0000

Hearty congratulations to Ben Barden for completing his Multi-Engine Piston (MEP) flight training in the minimum time (6hrs) and passing the flight test first time. SkyLeisure Aviation uses the Piper Seneca III PA34 for MEP flight training at Shoreham. This provides the student with the experience of using turbocharged engines and classic “three lever” engine controls. Although not nesscesarly the easiest twin to learn on, once mastered it equips the pilot with superior skills to cope with different types twin engine aircraft. Of course, the highly experienced flight instructors at SkyLeisure ensure that most courses are completed within the minimum prescribed time, with a first time pass.

Air Ambulance Flight to Germany

owen — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:40:51 +0000

Redair Charters provided a vital service recently to a young boy who needed our Air Ambulance service to Dortmund, Germany. Redair Charters are approved by the Civil Aviation Authority to carryout such flights throughout the UK and Europe. Using our Piper PA31 Chieftain aircraft we can accommodate a stretcher and paramedics to support the patient during transportation to the destination. An ambulance can be provided at either end of the flight for the convenience and comfort of the patient. “Walking wounded” can also be transported by our Piper PA34 Seneca aircraft in the Air Ambulance role. Redair Charters can provide the privacy that one would expect on such flights, which reduces the potential stress placed on a patient during transit.
