lately, l`ve been considering of ways to overcome issues that are worrying many club members , that is, the accessibility to the airfield 24/7. That option was offered when we paid our fee`s !! Having given the subject considerable, thought, I think that a more professional approach to the subject matter is in order. Why can`t we adopt full size methods that are proven and work. Each commercial pilot undergoes training on a simulator to a level of competence before moving on !! This would add to the novices confidence and produces safety habits. The club has a simulator, with some components for a second one. It could be that a certain number of hours {time to be discussed } that the trainee pilot must accumulate.....before moving on . Training can continue even in bad weather and also free up flight line congestion. There is a room at the end of the amenities block that could be fitted out as a training facility, giving noise reduction and a degree of privacy.....Marcel might enjoy producing a log book to record flight times , personal info like contact details , blood type ,allergies etc. My previous article regarding budding up, is still relevant and I believe the above would make their task easier.
