A. All airplanes are safe to fly even light ones. If engine fails, airplanes still can fly in gliding condition converting altitude to distance of flight (approximately 100 meters height – 1200 meters distance) in order to reach a safe place for landing.
Q. What it is included in Pilot Training Course?
A. Theoretical knowledge on subjects:
- Air Law and Air Traffic Control procedures.
- Aircraft systems and instrumentation.
- Principle of Flight and Aerodynamics.
- Meteorology.
- General and Radio Navigation.
- Operating procedures.
- Human performance.
- Communication.
- Flight performance and planning.
Flight training:
- Normal and abnormal flight maneuvers and training.
- Take off and Landings.
