What you Need

What do I need to bring?

Let's see! This isn't a course to teach you the ground subjects; you should already know them. But it will be helpful for you to have access to the sort of textbooks you used to obtain your original licence because during the course you'll probably need to revise some of the stuff that you've maybe forgotten. By this stage most of our AFI students have invested in the excellent groundschool series by Trevor Thom or Jeremy Pratt. If you haven't got these publications - they're quite expensive - you might well be able to beg, steal or borrow them from someone in your flying club who has them. If not, then you really ought to purchase them. As an instructor you really need them as basic tools of your trade anyway.

MUST HAVE...

Two items that you must purchase are the AFI Syllabus and The Microlight Instructor and Examiner Guide. Both of these will be required for the Course and can be obtained from the BMAA. www.bmaa.org

REMEMBER TO BRING...

Also, remember to bring your PPL, Current Medical Certificate and Log book and ensure that the 'Certificate of Experience' is current in your Log book. This is very important as we can't do the course unless these requirements are met.

WHAT ABOUT ACCOMMODATION?

There is a rather cosy place called Oakdown Farm quite close to the airfield which we can thoroughly recommend. You are completely self-contained in your own bungalow complete with TV and your own cooking facilities if you want to do your own meals in the evening.

A full breakfast is cooked for you every morning and I daresay the landlady could be persuaded to provide an evening meal too if you're more experienced in the art of flying than producing cullinary delights. The food is excellent and the prices very reasonable.

Telephone Mrs Hutton on 01256 397218 for current prices.
