Periodic solo/wings parties are held where recently qualified pilots receive their wings and are initiated into the flying fraternity in spectacular fashion.

On a more serious note, frequent Safety Seminars are presented. Various topics are covered and any pilot who is serious about safety, will not miss a single one of them. Examples of topics covered are ‘personal minima’s, ‘pitfalls when flying at night’, ‘pilot attitude versus altitude’, ‘critical decision making’ and the like. We often make use of specialists in their field such as a doctor approved for flying medicals to discuss various health issues. On these evenings our cash-bar is always open and many incredible stories have been heard around the counter. Whether from the serious presentation or from the sociability afterwards, every pilot comes away with a tip or ten to keep his/her flying as safe as possible.

Compared to when you were at school, this school is fun! During lessons students relax by playing a few sets of table-tennis (ping-pong) or pool. In summer, the pool is a lovely refresher when it can get really hot. In winter the fire is lit and a game of finger-board keeps temperatures high.
