We looked at the sky; we pushed back flights; we looked at the radar; we made some calls and cancelled some private hires. Finally at 12pm the low clouds directly over the aerodrome moved away and we were able to get 3-4 of our flights done today. One of them was Tim, who passed his flight test with CFI Dan today. Congratulations Tim!

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Ben began fulltime training with us on 25 November and had a dream run, passing all his exams and only losing four flights due to rain. It’s always hard to get good conditions for doing a first solo and completing the required five hours of solo, but he booked well in advance and was able to get the 7.30am slots. Congratulations on passing your RPC flight test with CFI Dan today Ben!

cm4oyifpw000b08l08ytx0zj6 Intense training

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Harrison from Brisbane, convinced his mum to come up to the Unshine Coast all this week for some intensive flight training with the hope of finishing his RPC. Harrison and his instructor, Tom, worked hard to get Harrison’s final lessons and required 5 solo hours completed by yesterday. This morning he managed to successfully undergo his RPC flight test with CFI Dan, before the rain set in. Well done everyone! Next week: Nav training… if the rain moves away.

cm4mfst9k000m08l9gq1052v7 Congrats Elli!

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Elli has been commuting north to Caloundra for flying lessons for around one year now and having to contend with lessons being cancelled due to gusting winds and rain showers. Today Damien booked her a longer period of five hours knowing that we would lose some of that time to rain showers. They had to sit around for 90 minutes in the middle of the day waiting for showers to pass but then this afternoon they got airborne again and Elli passed her RPC flight test. Congratulations!

The calm and perfect conditions continued through for our 9:30 am flight flights and Ben was also able to go solo today under the supervision of Senior Instructor Tom. Well done Ben! (So much easier to run a flight school on the days when there is no wind or rain!)
