All GA aircraft have scheduled checks every 50 hours of flying time.
The maintenance of GA aircraft is strictly regulated by the Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) and aircraft can be maintained only by CAA licensed engineers. Wearing glasses does not stop you from learning to fly and flying solo, providing you can meet the vision standards when wearing them. A RPL medical will allow you to fly some GA aircraft under restricted conditions. If you cannot reach the PPL medical standard, you may be able to obtain a Microlight or RPL medical and fly one of the modern Microlight or LSA aircraft now operated by some Flying NZ aero clubs. If you intend to train in a GA aircraft it is probably worthwhile obtaining your medical early in your training. You must have obtained your medical certificate for your instructor to let you fly solo. While a microlight and RPL medical can be issued by a GP, a PPL medical must be issued by a Designated Medical Examiner, (DME) certified by the NZ Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The medical requirements for a Microlight Pilots Certificate, a Recreational Pilot's licence (RPL) and a GA Private Pilots (PPL) Licence are quite different. However for most pilots obtaining their pilots licence and flying solo is the ultimate achievement. You can learn to fly an aeroplane and fly all of your life without a medical, providing you always have a qualified instructor in the seat beside you. This is a very enjoyable stage in your training where you will learn all the additional skills necessary to gain your licence. When your instructor is satisfied you can take off, fly the circuit accurately and land safely every time, you will fly your first solo circuit.Īfter you have become proficient in the circuit, you will commence your advanced training.
Here you will learn to take off and land your aircraft and put all the skills you previously learnt into practice. Your instructor will then teach you the circuit.
You will learn how to pre flight your aeroplane and how to handle the aircraft on the ground. You will also learn about basic stalling and how to recognise when the aircraft is flying too slowly. Your instructor will teach you how to make the aircraft climb, descend, turn and fly straight and level. This can be challenging but it is also immensely rewarding.
Its about learning how to safely manoeuvre an aircraft in a three dimensional space. To add Journeyman prior is between 480g and 600g depending on your faction with the trainer.Īrtisan (fast) flying costs 5000g for the training and 200g for the mount.Learning to fly is totally different to any sport or recreational activity you have ever undertaken before. Summary: If you have Journeyman ground skill then the unadjusted cost is 900g to fly slow (800g for the training and 100g for the mount). Journeyman Riding Skill: Others have said the pre-TBC ground trainers (Alliance: Eastvale Logging Camp Horde: Sen'Jin Village) should be cheaper as most would have faction for those trainers but a prior post says TBC doesn't offer the higher Expert training skill.
If you don't have Journeyman Riding Skill (fast ground mount skill) then your cost is 600g for it PLUS 800g for Expert then 100g for the slow flying mount. Alliance get their training from Wildhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley (Horde should be in Thrallmar in Hellfire Pennisula). Comment by LoshamLooked all over the place for the cost of riding with many fairly vague references including the "go-to" sites.
