the first flight briefing, and we have the South African acronym's terms made things difficult for, leading occasionally to the fact that we were more concerned with finding out what FREDA mean, BLUMPFICH, Blitt, etc., as the flying simple, so as usual, with the 'normal' check lists, according to either paper or to fly from the head.
especially our flying youngsters have there, justifiably suffered, must confess that at the beginning made me uneasy, because then 2 EXPIRING checklists parallel, 'my', as usual, and acronyms.
we have associated ourselves with the pilots and Karl on the last day for a beer or two discussed and suggested that if you have the new bush pilot, this would bring close to acronyms, this First advance sums, and perhaps in a letter to be discussed separately.
then you could prepare for it, and it would be less stressful than if the terms 30 minutes before boarding to a 'new' flying gets raised.
Karl and his boys had understanding, and you will surely find a solution, a solution can the aspiring bush pilot as it is accepted, and the bush pilot flying then adapts.
point is that the second 'feasible'.
when pilots get together in which case 4 on our side, and four of skyafrica, then are the individuals who all have different preferences to fly. everyone has their own , But all the ideas in the envelope of safety, are covered by checklists.
any attempt on the bush pilot aspirants page to give his best, on the other side detto, in instruktorren.
from the training knows maybe the odd one or more instructors who have a more or less large attractive potential to interact with rowing.
the arc of intervention ranging from flight instructors to conduct a hand even rate changes also 'own authority' to intervene on the other side of those only the first, if it could be really dangerous.
latter, the students at the beloved, because then the students just know he has it all by myself. the Teachers are simple arrangements, ie 'heading 240', 'height ft 3500', the students do it, if not then the arrangement is again, and then it usually goes.
to many flight students uncomfortable affected if the teachers have even 5 ° makes corrections, and the students do not know what is going on because no one has told him that he has any, and how many degrees he curves.
especially our flying youngster suffered because, while we the accompanying pilots do not assume bad faith, perhaps it is for them not to do, or it has been about 'complaining' no one ;-)
here we would be more 'tolerance' want a wish that we have also deposited. let the budding bush pilots fly just as it's are used, clear instructions are announced, and should intervene only really happened based security.
to group size:
our pilot group of 4, who knew each other before, we all fly the same club, was just right.
as we previously knew, there was also no interference with each other or atmospheric problems. the course is to make one or two people fly on group size, given the even taking place 'social' life before and after perhaps a little small.
would be optimal, a small circle of friends, as we are four pilots, together want to have fun.
as already contributing in another run, 'fellow passengers' are only likely to be from the course, the 'holiday' enthusiasm when they are very 'mitflug-cool' are. else would I woman friend / boyfriend, whoever in an open society ;-), home leave [ further comment to ].
all in all, the guys were working hard, it has given us and hopefully prepared for them a lot of fun - thank you karl and skyafrica - a highly recommended event, a bush pilot course - because you will then estimate the 'sheltered workshop' of the flying in the home.
PS: they are about 18 to 18.5 hours and PA28 182er 'pure' flown flight times, hobbs's were a little more, the book 172er flight about 2 hours more, 36 lines in my, and 54 landings in total!
PSS: It seems as the weather July / August although 'winter' is the best time to be, even if it occasionally Resch. but the second half of the course was pleasant when the sun came up it had just over 20 degrees, just right.
inconceivable in the South African summer, ie December / January to fly here, 40 ° and more and lots of giant hail storm filled from early afternoon;
therefore prefer something chill, and movies but the flight ;-)
PSSS: And a reminder, we are flying in south africa, as it may be quite possible that one or the other not quite work out, a 'timetable neckermann-' not up to the minute can be maintained, although the organization was great. is therefore the published program a path, but not a target - with many factors play.
fly So relaxed setting and enjoy a 'laissez-faire' style of the course. does the rest with its sky-africa karl team - also with us worked it!
PSSSS: that all costs and what, given the hours flown, the 'all-inclusive' package with safety pilot 24-hour available, catering and affordable it is also clear. but it pays the price is an event that I would not miss in flying.
