Big weekend of flight testing: students kick a goal!
Big weekend of flight testing: students kick a goal!
A
group of Airspeed Aviation's students have passed through flight
testing this weekend, marking the start of their final phase of flight
training.
Isaac Belfield led the charge with a pass in his GFPT on Friday morning, followed by Malcolm Warwick on Saturday morning an Nicolas Luitingh on Saturday afternoon.
Judy McKenzie, a veteran pilot examiner based in Tamworth, came to Scone to conduct the flight tests. Judy is expecting shortly to recommend Airspeed CFI Ben Wyndham be appointed as a government-approved Testing Officer in his own right.
"I am thrilled for this weekend's test candidates" Mr Wyndham said, "they have risen to the challenge, demonstrated an excellent standard of airmanship and with experience and time will become excellent pilots. We are proud of them."

January 7 2010: School
Holidays "Fly Solo" program
a big hit!
In the first week of
January, Airspeed Aviation ran a
"Learn to Fly" program for High School Students.
On Day 5 both Maddy and Luke reached the required standard and, after a couple of words of guidance and advice from their instructors, completed the course by successfuly completing their First Solo flight.
Congratulations to our young pilots!
