Flight Training
Type Ratings
Do you need a type rating on something a little less common than your Cessna 172 or Piper Warrior? I can probably help.
Aerobatic Training & Testing
I’m able to teach you how to safely enjoy aerobatics under the NZ Warbirds Association banner. As well as supporting the NZ Warbirds movement, it’s also the most cost-effective aerobatics syllabus that I’m aware of.
Aerobatics will improve your understanding and handling of your aircraft. As a bonus, it’s a great thing to have on your CV for your next flying interview.
Strip Flying
If you have a desire to land on farm airstrips, back-country strips, river beds, or unimproved landing areas, let me help you with techniques to reduce the risks. There’s a lot more to strip flying than take-offs and landings!
Terrain Awareness & Mountain Flying
Part of the PPL and CPL license requirements is to complete Terrain Awareness and Mountain flying. I can help teach you the skills required to operate around and through terra firma, as opposed to just way above it.
You’ll apply the rules and weather knowledge from your exams into practical flying lessons, and at the end get a logbook sticker, greater respect for operating close to terrain, and have gained the critical skills to do so.
Exam Preparation Quizzes
